pessimist

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
