[Verse 1]
When life gives gives me lemons, I rub them in my eyes
When life gives me roses, I see thorns in disguise
My gla** is half-empty, my soup is full of flies
My perspective may be backwards, but I'd like to think I'm wise
[Chorus]
How can you live with that attitude
Acting like everything's all wrong
Living with that much negativity
Must make your days feel so long
[Verse 2]
Some people go through hardship, but they take it on the chin
Some people go through sorrow, but they greet it with a grin
But I take all my blessings and I give them my own spin
You show me silver linings, I turn them back to clouds again
[Chorus]
How can you live with that attitude
Acting like everything's all wrong
Living with that much negativity
Must make your days feel so long
[Chorus]
How can you stand being a pessimist
Thinking that it all will end in tears
You think you're just living in reality
But really you're just living out your fears
