I can't really complain
Things usually go my way
But I'd like to take a moment of your time
Cause I've got some things to say
I like to be the one you confide in when everything goes wrong
I like to be the stuck writing the hopeful and optimistic songs
And most of the time
I look forward to what is next
You can say I play the role
Of the optimist
But sometimes
I have low moments
And it causes me to stress
Sometimes you can't help but feel hopeless
All these thoughts have been surfacing
Rising to the top it's got me boiling
The lose of friends and family has been haunting me
It puts you in a state of disbelief
Reminds you that there's no certainty
But eventually
You gotta face reality
There are very few times
Where I am a pessimist
Yet even when my life's a mess
I always try my best
To stick to my role
Even when the times are tough
Keep myself under control
Even when the truth is too much
To handle
We all play a role
I don't care if mine's naive
It's all I've ever known
We all need some positivity
We all play a role
For better or for worse
And we're all going to get hurt
But all I ever wanted was to make our lives a little easier
