Текст песни Optimistic Pessimist - John Michael Howell

I'm an optimistic pessimist
I refer the worst
Even when my life is great
Cuz maybe I won't get hurt
If I'm looking for the bad
Before it gets to me
Hmm

Cuz maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
Cuz when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away

Ooh
Why am I this way, why am I this way?
So worried 'bout tomorrow, I forget to
Live today, live today, live today
Hmm

Guess I try to divvy out the pain
So I don't feel the blow of
Disappointment everytime it rains
So I just jumped the boat
Before the things of love turned into smoke
But that's all in my head
And I'm starting to think

Cuz maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
Cuz when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away

Ooh
Why am I this way, why am I this way?
So worried 'bout tomorrow, I forget to
Live today, live today, live today

Maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
Cuz when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away

Ooh
Why am I this way, why am I this way?
So worried 'bout tomorrow, I forget to
Live today, live today, live today

But I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid anymore
