I'm very sorry That I never got through to you All the things I promised All the lies that wouldn't do I had a vision That I was gonna realize But I made a decision When things just wasn't right I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I'm forever the optimist You can call me a fool Naive or even dumb I will happily play that part If it means I don't have to run But I'll get up and leave Before it all gets too dark I'll stay forever As long as there's a spark I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I'm forever the optimist I never want to be too good at anything 'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent I choose satisfaction over success I'm forever the optimist
