Your Glass Of Sadness Is Half Full (Optimistic Pessimist)

Your glass of sadness is half full,
and I'd like to drink it for you,
but my glass of happiness is half empty,
and you don't find it appealing.

No, you prefer to feel weak.
You prefer the blues to daydreams.

So, optimistic pessimist, what's so great about pain?
Do you feel brighter in a world of gray?
'Cause I like to bathe in the sun's warm light.
It helps me repel the night.
CHORUS

I wouldn't be so proud of that perspective if I was you;
our glasses can change in size, but it's hard to change our view.
I would count your blessings, no matter how few,
because counting curses will overflow you.
