The Optimist
Moving on and
Getting over
That's the trouble
These days
I try to get you
Off my mind, but
It seems
You always stay
If I could maybe turn back time
Baby would it change your mind?
But either way I think that mine is made
I'm letting you go
I'll sing it out
The world that we built
Is over now
I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down
And I'll build something better, yeah
It's kinda tricky
Starting over
But I'm sure
I'll be just fine, mmm
I've got the blueprints
I've saved some money
And darling, I've got all this time
I've traded in my broken heart
I'm healed but you can see the scars
The sky is clearing up so I just smile
I'm letting you go
I'll sing it out
The world that we built
Is over now
I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down
And I'll build something better, yeah
I'm letting you go
I'll sing it out
The world that we built
Is over now
I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down and darling I'll build something better
It wasn't a mistake
I'll take what I've learned
I'm happy to know that it wasn't a waste
I'm moving on
To better, hmm
To better
Better
Better
Better, ahh
I'm letting you go
I'll sing it out
The world that we built
Is over now
I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down
And I'll build something better
Letting you go
I'll sing it out
The world that we built is over now
I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down
And then I'll build something better
Getting over
That's the trouble
These days

Off my mind, but

I'll pick up the scraps
That we tore down
And then I'll build something better
