She told me I’m pessimistic You shouldn’t be this way Yes I know But negativity seems to hang over me like a storm cloud Constantly sprinkling Damping my clothes Now I’m soak and wet And you want me to smile ? How Cause I’m tethered to this shadow With chains Like I’m it’s slave And the weight of its anger and pain Steadily pulling me down I thought she was my salvation But how wrong was I to believe in thee It was foolish to think kind words and a pretty face Could cause this dark heart To come out it’s sunken place There’s no way I’ll ever be able to get out Maybe happiness Just isn’t in me
