Pessimistic Lyrics by Addison Grace

Diving Lessons

2023

[Verse 1]
I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I just need a little help
Reminding myself to eat sometimes (To eat)
I've been stuck in bed all day
And making it my only personality trait
I'm not Taylor, I'm not Phoebe
I'll write this song, it'll have no meaning
But I'll still find a way to cry to it
'Cause life's become this pity party
And somehow I'm the VIP
I'm on the guest list
And it looks like crying and dancing

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be more than my father ever was
Never kiss a girl and take her home
If I'm only here to fuck things up
'Cause I've learned some people are flawed
Only here to make things worse

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
I'm not trying to be pessimistic

[Verse 2]
Sometimes when my head's in space
I swear I see the God that
Everyone's crying to and talking about
It kinda looks just like my mom
So, I guess it kinda looks like me
If you turn your head the right way
'Cause I take after her

[Pre-Chorus]
Recently the good days only bring relief
Change the flowers while I'm conscious
Maybe take a steamy bubble bath
'Cause I've learned some days are just flawed
Only here to make things worse

[Chorus]
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
I'm not trying to be, no, I'm not trying to be

[Bridge]
Some days don't get better
And some dads don't remember
And sometimes you can't put yourself back together
Some days don't get better
And some dads don't remember
And sometimes you can't put yourself back together
And some days
And some dads
And sometimes

[Chorus]
(Pessimistic)
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
I'm not trying to be pessimistic
