Honestly

Honestly I'm gonna be the opposite
Every time i'm honest there's a punishment
You can say you want it but it's not the truth
My internal monologue's a whiny dude
"Honest" means i'm prolly going negative
Yeah I know it's not a goal of how to live
I would one day love to be an optimist
But i don't have the discipline required for this oh

Oh, now, stop wait hold up a sec, did you just say you'll work with it
I know one day you'll walk away... what do you mean you think you'll stay?
Wait, how, why would you pick me up? I can't be who you're thinking of
What do you mean the sun is out? I love how you keep the negative down!

And you point the positive out! and you help me figure it out!
And you never listen to doubt! love how you keep it all out!
Thank you for showing me how!

Don't you worry you're not battle tested yet?
Like life is easy only cuz you're young and fit?
Like any day now everything will fall apart
Like isn't that the way you're every morning starts?
Like I can seem to ever stop consuming news
And none of it is good but that no excuse to
Turn an eye so blindly I don't see at all
You can see the edge whereas I always fall oh

Oh, now, stop wait hold up a sec, did you just say you'll work with it
I know one day you'll walk away... what do you mean you think you'll stay?
Wait, how, why would you pick me up? I can't be who you're thinking of
What do you mean the sun is out? I love how you keep the negative down!

And you point the positive out! and you help me figure it out!
And you never listen to doubt! love how you keep it all out!
Thank you for showing me how!

1) Im not nearly stupid as I used to be
2) "Lazy": not a sign of positivity
3) Pessimism doesn't burn a calorie
These are the epiphanies you've brought to me
Yet I wake up everyday and it's a test
Rarely do I wake up in my Sunday best and
You taught my attitude, but I don't have your monologue of gratitude

Oh, now, stop wait hold up a sec, did you just say you'll work with it
I know one day you'll walk away... what do you mean you think you'll stay?
Wait, how, why would you pick me up? I can't be who you're thinking of
What do you mean the sun is out?

I love how you keep the negative down!
And you point the positive out! and you help me figure it out!
And you never listen to doubt! love how you keep it all out!
Thank you for showing me how!
