optimist

Wake up, get yourself out of bed
And put on some new clothes
Aall up your best friend
I think if you counted your blessings
Maybe the world won't
Look so depressing

But I shoulda been up by now
I shoulda been famous
You shoulda been tryna keep me humble
Like I made it
But the world forgot about me
I'm already outdated
So why the hell would I think everything is great

You used to be an optimist
Never thought
You'd turn into the opposite
Carry on
K-keep on fuckin complainin'
Cry when its rainin'
You're so impatient it's makin' me sick
You used to be an optimist
Never thought
You'd turn into the opposite
Where'd you go
C-'cause you sound like a stranger
Save it for later
You don't need a savior for something to switch
I used to be an optimist

Do you ever wonder what happened
They'd knock you down you'd
Tise from the ashes
Stay low
Now you're being so busy
Feelin' sorry for yourself

But I almost had it all
Everything I've been chasing
I coulda been happy ever after
No complaining
But the world forgot about me
I'm already outdated
So why the hell would I say everything is great

You used to be an optimist
Never thought
You'd turn into the opposite
Carry on
K-keep on fuckin complainin'
Cry when its rainin'
You're so impatient it's makin' me sick
You used to be an optimist
Never thought
You'd turn into the opposite
Where'd you go
C-'cause you sound like a stranger
Save it for later
You don't need a savior for something to switch
I used to be an optimist
