Optimystic - Muby

You’re all that I’ve got on my mind

Walking back through the sands of time

The way you used to be all mine

While everything else had to wait in line


It’s funny how a song can bring those memories back

It’s funny how a picture can make you lose your tracks

Looking back on things that were

The way we used to be: me and her

All those dreams are now a blur

A path so straight, now feels so curved

It’s funny how quickly your bright plans turn to black

It’s funny how life so full can feel so cracked

All that I had left is gone

Even all the rights feel so wrong

Every night seems so long

No place left where I belong

Its funny how life can leave you feelin’ attacked

Its funny how in the end, all you’ve got left is flak

But, this isn’t anywhere close to the end

‘Cos soon I’ll find another friend

A smile to share, a hand to lend

More memories just around the bend

It’s funny how scattered things still seem to be stacked

It’s funny how time can help us gain what we lacked

It’s funny how a song can bring those memories back

It’s funny how a picture can make you lose your tracks

Always Takes Two to Tango

You loved one day and forgot the next

The phone calls stopped, and so did the texts

Didn’t even get a chance to understand the context

Just left me one day, all lonely and vexed


Does it even bother you that I’m still in love?

Does it even matter that I haven’t had enough?

I feel like a piece of junk that you just shoved

My heart hurts like it was punched with a boxing glove


I hope you’re enjoying the new depth of my hollow

But, what goes around comes around you kow

And you too will see yourself in my place tomorrow

‘cos baby it always takes two to tango


I bled so much that I have no blood pumping through my brain

I hurt so much that I can’t even feel the pain

If our love was insanity, this feels far less sane

Feels like getting run over by a subway train


Hope I never feel about anyone the way I felt about you

‘cos if everything ends this way, I’d rather die alone and blue

It’s better than dying every day my whole life through

With the feeling that you’re so close but would never come to my rescue


I hope you’re enjoying the display of my sorrow

But, don’t take me to be foolish or shallow

‘Cos you will see yourself in the same rotten place tomorrow

‘cos baby it always takes two to tango


I really have nothing more to say

I am just waiting for that blessed day

When no one’s left to make you feel okay

And you think about losing my love in dismay


But, I ain’t coming back no more, I’ve jumped that wagon

I’m done with playing the knight who rescues you from the dragon

You might have to look for someone else up for snaggin’

‘cos I know with you, the pain just goes on draggin’


I hope you have someone left to follow

Someone’s shoulder you could beg or borrow

But, you will find yourself in my place tomorrow

Cos baby it always takes two to tango
