Pessimist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Plantin' lemon trees since I was twenty-three
Watchin', waitin' for it to grow but still, it tasted bittersweet
No matter what I did
No matter what I did
I was hot-headed to the ninth degree
Punch and pushed by anything I thought would make a mess of me
That's just what I did
That's just what I did
[Pre-Chorus]
Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
[Chorus]
You're all I see in my mind
I think I see a lifetime
Done holding on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes
I think I see a lifetime
Done holding on to myself
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
[Verse 2]
You made me believe that she ain't no make-believe
I'll stop checking horoscopes to cope with all my misery
That's just what you did
That's just what you did, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
[Chorus]
You're all I see in my mind (In my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (In your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
[Pre-Chorus]
Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You showed me what it means to fall in deep like no one else
[Chorus]
You're all I see in my mind (In my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (In your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else

What did Julia Michaels say about "Pessimist"?
I put “Pessimist” after “Love Is Weird” because I feel like that was the next seemingly perfect transition. You know, love is weird, and I do find it very bizarre that [on] my last two EPs, I was very pessimistic and very angry when it came to love. Then you meet somebody, and they completely break...
