I'm A Realist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh,I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
Oh,I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I am indecisive and that's about it
And you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's cos your mind is already made up
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
I admit it
I'm up to my old tricks
Did you see her eyes (oh no I tried)
She looked surprised
And you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's cos your mind is already made up
How you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you
Drink don't wanna think
That's cos your mind is already made up
No!
I know that it's only a matter of time
Before you know it I'll be leaving town
See it in my eyes
No one will do
No one will ever do...
