I'm trying hard to write a song for you
You told me to be happy maybe these chords will
Infuse me with a feeling lift my heart up above
I'm not the kind of person who has to hurt to live
No that's not me
I'm not defeatist
I'm no pessimist
Am I proving it?
Tell yourself you have nothing to complain about
Aren't you supposed to have the power to make it so?
The more you say it the closer it is to truth
I promise to pretend so that I convince you
See that's not me
I'm not a downer
Deep down inside
I'm not a drag
