Three Cities - The Pessimist lyrics

[Verse 1] When life gives gives me lemons, I rub them in my eyes When life gives me roses, I see thorns in disguise My gla** is half-empty, my soup is full of flies My perspective may be backwards, but I'd like to think I'm wise [Chorus] How can you live with that attitude Acting like everything's all wrong Living with that much negativity Must make your days feel so long [Verse 2] Some people go through hardship, but they take it on the chin Some people go through sorrow, but they greet it with a grin But I take all my blessings and I give them my own spin You show me silver linings, I turn them back to clouds again [Chorus] How can you live with that attitude Acting like everything's all wrong Living with that much negativity Must make your days feel so long [Chorus] How can you stand being a pessimist Thinking that it all will end in tears You think you're just living in reality But really you're just living out your fears
