Reminders Songtext / Lyric

I wish I had more nice things to say

But I was raised not to lie

I'm either honest, or I'm an optimist

But never both at the same time



And everyone knows the deal

Gotta take what you can

'cause anything I don't steal

Just winds up in someone else's hands






There's only so much good a man can take

When he ain't so good himself

You remind me of what I could've been

But that reminder ain't much help



So it's better if you were on your way

If you were somewhere far from me

So you could dream I turned out well

And I... I could just go to sleep



I wish I had more nice things to say

But I was raised not to lie

I'm either honest, or I'm an optimist

But never both at the same time
