[Verse]

I've never been in love

Only in love with the thought of being in love with someone I thought was special

They were special they showed me that I'm naive to love

And even though love hurt me, caused me more pain than anything

I've never deserted the thought of it or regretted

Only merely changed my intentions and feelings towards love

Because without love id be a withering pit of nothing

Descending deeper and deeper into the darkness I have already been shrouded in

Concealed so deep I become nothing and there is nothing scarier than the thought of everyone forgetting about me as I wither away further into the darkness

If you've never experienced this sort of drug, or this pain, or felt so high you could never fall

Just know any second your perception of this synthetic life you put into yourself to make your body feel better could be gone in a matter of 3 words that were never spoken by the life next to you

And as you scramble trying to keep what you just lost a loving memory

You could lose that wonderful bliss in your mind too

This poison flows deeper and deeper through our veins as it courses through us

Don't make the same mistakes I have made

Learn from me learn to love the life around you

But most importantly learn to love yourself

Because how do expect to love someone else if you can't even love yourself

Focus on what's inside

Because your eyes only show the misconception of what love is

I made this album, well it's not really an album more of an outer body experience, to show my travels and tell the stories of the people and things I've come to love

And as you listen you'll hear that not only have I been excited, ecstatic, grateful to have these people and things I love, I've also been hurt and deceived with love

Keep what’s important to you close

But above all else, Stay Tuned

Yours Truly

Mr. Hopelessly Optimistic
