They're always telling me to look on the bright side
But I wanna let them know the light hurts my eyes
They said I'm living in the dark - I got a night light
I'm not an optimist but that's not wrong or right
Yeah life is strange but it's true you can't rewind
When things don't go the way you wanted them the first time
So make the most of what you've got while you have it
Wishing and wanting but don't take a thing for granted
Face the facts, face the music
I hate to do this to you
But imagine that
An unfair world where your dreams don't come true
But that's okay, just look alive
And then stop asking why
I'm not pessimistic
Optimism just isn't my style
You don't get it, you should quit it
'Cause you don't understand
Sunny smile, bright disposition?
They're not part of my plan
But day to day
I get through it
Because that's what I do
But listen up 'cause I got something for you so
Don't make me
Make believe
What I feel or I see
This is how it's gonna be
'Cause I don't like it like that, no
I don't like it like that, no
I don't like it like that, no
So let's just leave at that
Monday I wake up, and I got nothing to do
Tuesday I wake up, and I gotta make it through
Wednesday I wake up, and it's the same as Tuesday
But one day I'll wake up and it'll be like payday
I'll be swimming in the green
Won't forget my hopes and dreams
Yeah one day I will get it the right way
But until that day comes
Best believe I'll be the one
Paying all my dues until I'm done, so
Don't make me
Make believe
What I feel or I see
This is how it's gonna be
'Cause I don't like it like that, no
I don't like it like that, no
I don't like it like that, no
So let's just leave at that
