Cautiously Optimistic Lyrics by Beth Crowley

The Have Not

2024

[Verse 1]
I could say that I'm fine
Fall back on the old familiar líne
Act like I'm living the dream
But what the hell does that even mean

These days I'm testing something out
This concept where I'm honest with myself
And I won't push everyone away
When it feels like I'm gonna break

[Chorus]
Sometimes there's no such thing as a happy ending
There's just an ending
And you'll decide if you start again
I've been learning that happiness doesn't just magically happen
You work for it and I'm not thеre yet
But I'm cautiously optimistic

[Verse 2]
I was a glass half empty girl
Jadеd and pissed off at the world
Ready to lash out anytime
Unleash the poison I held inside

And I thought I'd be satisfied if
I made everyone hurt the way I did
Slap away all the hands that were reaching
To pull me away from the edge of the deep end

[Chorus]
Sometimes there's no such thing as a happy ending
There's just an ending
And you'll decide if you start again
I've been learning that happiness doesn't just magically happen
You work for it and I'm not there yet
But I'm cautiously optimistic

Cautiously optimistic

[Bridge]
I was convinced for a moment
It was better if I was alone but
It's the people you hold in your heart
Who find you again when you lose who you are and

[Chorus]
Sometimes there's no such thing as a happy ending
There's just an ending
And you'll decide if you start again
I've been learning that happiness doesn't just magically happen
You work for it and I'm not there yet
But I'm cautiously optimistic

Cautiously optimistic
