Loving, Self-Loathing - Smoke or Fire

The optimist that died in me

Awoke to the pale blue in your eyes

To show me there’s a world I gave up long before

I married to the bottle, hit the road and chose to go it alone

This world can lose all meaning, burn and break your spirit

Something about you says it’s not too late for me

If we could learn to fight our demons, yeah and I’ve got regrets but still

There’s something about you that says it’s not too late for me

So show me, give me half a chance to be for you

The person that I buried deep inside

For once I’d rather live than die and sympathize

With anyone who doesn’t find the kind of second chance I did

This world can lose all meaning, burn and break your spirit

Something about you says it’s not too late for me

If we could learn to fight our demons, yeah and I’ve got regrets but still

There’s something about you that says it’s not too late for me

Too late for me to come clean
