I used to run at the first sign of trouble,
Didn’t matter if it was real or just in my mind.
Every “I love you” felt like a setup,
A heartbreak waiting on the other side.

[Pre-Chorus]
I got wounds that still whisper your name,
Memories that haunt me like a hurricane.
But you move different, you ain’t like the rest,
And for the first time, I wanna take that test.

[Chorus]
I’ve never felt so optimistic,
Never thought love could feel this different.
All my doubts start to fade away,
For once, I think I just might stay.
I’ve been so used to breaking hearts,
Before they ever get the chance to start.
But baby, with you, I don’t feel so distant,
I’ve never felt so optimistic.

[Verse 2]
I built up walls, made ‘em ten feet high,
Called it protection, but it was just a lie.
I let my fear write the final scene,
Always cut and ran before love could breathe.

[Pre-Chorus]
But you’re patient when I try to push you out,
You don’t flinch when I start to shut you down.
You just hold me close, say, "Take your time,"
And somehow, I believe you this time.

[Chorus]
I’ve never felt so optimistic,
Never thought love could feel this different.
All my doubts start to fade away,
For once, I think I just might stay.
I’ve been so used to breaking hearts,
Before they ever get the chance to start.
But baby, with you, I don’t feel so distant,
I’ve never felt so optimistic.

[Bridge]
Maybe love ain’t meant to be a fight,
Maybe trust just takes a little time.
You’ve shown me more than words can say,
Maybe I won’t let this slip away.

[Chorus – Stronger & More Hopeful]
I’ve never felt so optimistic,
Never thought love could feel this different.
All my fears start to fade away,
For once, I think I just might stay.
No more running, no more doubt,
I see a future with you now.
Baby, with you, I don’t feel so distant,
I’ve never felt so optimistic.

[Outro]
For the first time, I see love so clear,
And for the first time, I want to be here…
