Pessimist

[Verse 1]
Thought I'd feel nothing, thought I'd be feeling indifferent
But now I feel something, and it's a goddamn predicament
And I hate this, 'cause I'm falling
I'm trying to find something, something wrong in it
Thought I'd see it coming, thought I could see it from a distance
I didn't

[Pre-Chorus]
By now they'd usually give me some excuse
But when there isn't anything, what do you do?

[Chorus]
Why do I fear the worst? When it's all I wanted, I try to stop it
So I don't end up getting hurt
Can I be honest? It's like I'm haunted
'Cause when I get close, they tend to let go
And they leave when I need them the most
I'm sorry it's like this, you're in love with a pessimist

[Verse 3]
I think you're perfect, that's why I'm looking for a way out
'Cause you've met my family and friends
Don't wanna do this to them again, don't be a let down

[Pre-Chorus]
By now I probably would have cut you loose
(Cut you loose)
'Cause I'm convinced if it's this good, it can't be true

[Chorus]
Why do I fear the worst? When it's all I wanted, I try to stop it
So I don't end up getting hurt
Can I be honest? It's like I'm haunted
'Cause when I get close, they tend to let go
And they leave when I need them the most
I'm sorry it's like this, you're in love with a pessimist

[Bridge]
Can you help me see it differently?
How'd you only see the best in me?
Can you help me see it differently?
How'd you only see the best in me?
Can you help me see it differently?
How'd you only see the best in me?
Can you help me see it differently?

[Outro]
'Cause when I get close, they tend to let go
And they leave when I need them the most
I'm sorry it's like this, you're in love with a pessimist
