[Verse 1]
I'm an optimistic pessimist
I'll root for the worst even when my life is great
'Cause maybe I won't get hurt if I'm lookin' for the bad
Before it gets to me, mm

[Chorus]
'Cause maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today

[Verse 2]
I guess I try to divvy up the pain
So I don't feel the blow of disappointment every time it rains
So I just jump the pole before the things I loved turned into smoke
But that's all in my head
And I'm startin' to think

[Chorus]
That maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today
Maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today
