I used to be an optimist
Wake up, get yourself out of bed and
Put on some new clothes,
call up your best friend
I think if you counted your blessings
Maybe the world won't look so depressing
But I should've been up by now
I should've been famous
You should've been trying to keep me humble like I made it
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I'm already outdated So why the hell would I say everything is great?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,
could keep on * complaining Cry when it's raining
You're so impatient,
it's making me sick You used to be an optimist
Didn't know you'd turn into the opposite Where'd you go?
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 knocked you down, you rise from the ashes
Stay low, now you're being so busy
Feeling sorry for yourself
But I almost had it all Everything I've been chasing
I could've 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I'm already outdated So why the hell would I say everything is great?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,
could keep on * complaining Cry when it's raining
You're so impatient,
it's making me sick You used to be an optimist
Didn't know you'd turn into the opposite Where'd you go?
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
You
used to be an optimist Never thought you'd turn into the opposite
Carry on,
could keep on * complaining Cry when it's raining
You're so impatient,
it's making me sick I used to be an optimist
