Alesana - Fatal Optimist lyrics

I miss counting the stars And I miss the way you kiss me I miss the way you touch me I miss calling you mine Baby you know who I am And there’s nobody I’d rather dance with in the moonlight I just want to go back I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole This is my confession I am no hero and I’m not a saint I can’t save the world and I never asked for this In your eyes I see the questions I don’t have the answers for Arise suspicious minds You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself Remind yourself that I’m dangerous! Maybe I’m not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk Maybe I’m just selling a lie, a villain in disguise I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole This is my confession I am no hero and I’m not a saint I can’t save the world and I never asked for this In your eyes I see the questions I don’t have the answers for Arise suspicious minds I don’t know if I’m praying, I don’t know if I’m begging But I have to believe that someone, something out there can hear me I have to know that there is a chance I have to believe that I might escape this hell I fear I’ve lost myself and I don’t know the way back the way back to what I once was Am I Fatima? Am I Rusalka? Or am I just me? Sweet, innocent Annabel. Star crossed lovers in strife embracing on a battlefield Giving in to the fight, changing at the speed of light Time to move on to another night Time to move on to another fight I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole This is my confession
