I started here, with a mind so clear
Refreshed and sincere, but I haven't changed a thing
I'm still breaking down, fighting myself
Forcing how I feel, but I'll never show my pain
If you just let me know, I'll pack my bags and go
It was never your fault, I'm only here to fill that void in me
And nothing hurts like this, this hopeless optimist
It's nothing new; I'm still the hopeless boy I was before
I am waiting to see, if I will find it here
Someone made for me, but is there such a thing?
And even if there is, would you know that I exist?
Would we ever speak? Or is it just not meant to be?
If I just let you know, would you back your bags and go?
It's never your fault, I'm only here to fill that void in me
And nothing hurts like this, this hopeless optimist
It's nothing new; I'm still the hopeless boy I was before
I've tried to kid myself, trick myself that this is what I want in life
But all it's done is give me hell, meaning well but now I just despise myself
Am I wanting too much? Just the best for both of us but
Cocooned in bedsheets, we will muster up the will to love once more
Nothing hurts like this, nothing hurts like this
Nothing hurts like this; do you know that I exist?
Do you know that I exist? Will you know that I exist?
But maybe when you find me, I will be reborn
If you just let me know, I'll pack my bags and go
It was never your fault, I'm only here to fill that void in me
And nothing hurts like this, this hopeless optimist
It's nothing new; I'm still the hopeless boy I was before
And sometimes what you want, just doesn't want you back
It's no one's fault it's just the way it has to go oh
So here we go again, the mountain we ascend
Cocooned in bedsheets, waiting for our wings to grow again
Someday, I will be reborn
