pessimist Lyrics

My best friend got a $30,000 raise

And I can't even sit down and concentrate

I took time to pursue what I dreamed of

But all I'm doing's watching "Love is Blind" and eating pizza

My sister's moving to the suburbs; she just got engaged

And I haven't washed my hair in six or seven days

I thought 27'd look a little different

Instead I'm in therapy and can't make a decision

And oh, that's how it goes

Sometimes the life you envision don't turn out that way, I suppose

And oh, that's how it is

Sometimes you step up to the plate, trust your fate, but then swing and miss

Or maybe I'm a pessimist

I sit there quietly aspiring to change the world

Replaying all the things I dreamt of as a little girl

The kind of daydreams that leave you smiling at the sky

It's like I woke up one day and 20 years went by

Oh, that's how it goes

Sometimes the life you envision don't turn out that way I suppose

And oh, that's how it is

Sometimes the plans you map out in your head simply cease to exist

Or maybe I'm a pessimist

This life, it's all just glass half full

Or glass half empty kind of people

I will try to rewrite my book

Close my eyes and change my outlook

This one is for the underdog stuck in comparison

A little strength is all we need and we can heal within

True victory is inner peace and simple gratitude

As long as we're breathing we are worthy too

As long as we're breathing we are worthy too

Oh, that's how it goes

Sometimes we fail, but in time we prevail, long as we have hope

And oh, that's how it is

One foot in front of the other and losses can turn into wins

And we can all be optimists
