[Verse 1]

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I just need a little help

Reminding myself to eat sometimes (To eat)

I've been stuck in bed all day

And making it my only personality trait

I'm not Taylor, I'm not Phoebe

I'll write this song, it'll have no meaning

But I'll still find a way to cry to it

'Cause life's become this pity party

And somehow I'm the VIP

I'm on the guest list

And it looks like crying and dancing

[Pre-Chorus]

I wanna be more than my father ever was

Never kiss a girl and take her home

If I'm only here to fuck things up

'Cause I've learned some people are flawed

Only here to make things worse

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

[Verse 2]

Sometimes when my head's in space

I swear I see the God that

Everyone's crying to and talking about

It kinda looks just like my mom

So, I guess it kinda looks like me

If you turn your head the right way

'Cause I take after her

[Pre-Chorus]

Recently the good days only bring relief

Change the flowers while I'm conscious

Maybe take a steamy bubble bath

'Cause I've learned some days are just flawed

Only here to make things worse

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

I'm not trying to be, no, I'm not trying to be

[Bridge]

Some days don't get better

And some dads don't remember

And sometimes you can't put yourself back together

Some days don't get better

And some dads don't remember

And sometimes you can't put yourself back together

And some days

And some dads

And sometimes

[Chorus]

(Pessimistic)

I'm not trying to be pessimistic

I'm not trying to be pessimistic
