I wish I had more nice things to say
But I was raised not to lie
I'm either honest, or I'm an optimist
But never both at the same timeAnd everyone knows the deal
Gotta take what you can
'cause anything I don't steal
Just winds up in someone else's handsThere's only so much good a man can take
When he ain't so good himself
You remind me of what I could've been
But that reminder ain't much helpSo it's better if you were on your way
If you were somewhere far from me
So you could dream I turned out well
And I... I could just go to sleep
I wish I had more nice things to say
But I was raised not to lie
I'm either honest, or I'm an optimist
But never both at the same time
