They often tell you;
"Look on the bright side"
Don't be so down
Ha! I'm smiling on the inside

Honest I am
I can laugh with the best
At you're pathetic cliches
And this pathetic mess

That you call life
Well, that's a joke
We're merely exisitng
We're drowning in the smoke

You can dress it up
And say:" Stay cheerful!"
But to me it's no good
I need to be dull

I need to be real
To see the bad side
Because things don't go good
No ones on my side

And yes I might be a little pessimistic
I might bring a downer on your silly smile
But I can't pretend everythings okay
The realist in me can only hide a while

So I'll stick to my ways,
If you don't mind
Because when things do go well
It's overwhelming joy I find

So here's to us realists
Us pessimists, us sad acts
Let's laugh at the happy losers
When reality hits them with a crash

My mind is blank
I don't know what to say
I'm trying to think of something
But the words won't come my way

I feel I've lots to tell you
But then when we meet
It's a quick hello-goodbye
Like a meet and  greet

I feel like I've missed you
Then I see you once again
Why can't we have a conversation?
Aren't we the best of friends?

So with regret I have to say
That these sad words have come my way
I think we're losing each other
And I think I like it this way

I want you to tell me
That everyhting's okay
That we can go back to how we were
But I'm afraid you've nothing to say

So this is the last hi and bye
The last of the laughs
Although I want to cry
But not all good things last

I hope life treats you well
And Selfishly me too
I won't ever forget and I hope you don't
The best days I shared with you

For You…

I’ll never forget, that first day we met
I was crazy, a little lazy
But the memory my friend  is far from hazy

You saw in me; that tortured soul
Through my manic smile, you saw the pain and woe
You helped me through those bad days
And didn’t mind my strange ways

Some time has passed now; I’m older and more wise
But I still look at you as someone who’ll advise
I’ll cry on your shoulder and you’ll make me laugh
I’ll etch on my mind a sweet photograph

I love you best friend; you know who you are
There’s no need to remind you, I’m never far
And I know it works the same for you
You’re as crazy as me and you love me too
