If I didn't think I could write the perfect song   The one that could fix everything that was wrong   Well then I wouldn't sing and I'd smash this thing   I'd break it to bits and I'd burn every piece   And you wouldn't hear from me   No, you wouldn't hear from me      You see, I'm hopeless but I've got so much hope   And I made a big knot at the end of my rope   My cup's been empty for a long time, you see,   But it's okay I get refills for free   And you won't hear laments out of me   There's no song about a quitter that's fit to sing      And if havin' hope means havin' a heart   And havin' a heart means havin' a dream   And havin' a dream means you believe   In things you can't touch and things you can't see   Then I guess I've got a dream   And I'm about as hopeful as the hopeless can be      If I could have just one last wish   It would be this   Please don't let my eyes grow dim    And please don't let me quit   No, please don't let me quit
