My Pretty Little Pessimist

Let's set something straight,
I know I'm not all that great
I know i tend to reject your calls
But I'm ALWAYS there to catch you when you fall

I know that i have my moments, but so do you
I know that i tend to slip, but at least i have a clue
Everything ends eventually, its a fact of life
I know it feels right, but I've told you once or twice

The awful truth is everyone will bring tears
Even worse is, everyone will confirm one of your fears
Darling, if you must know i have problems too
Don't think it's just the world against you

You're my pretty little pessimist
I'm you're flaky outgoing optimist
I expect too much out of the world, you pull me down
You lie and hide your hope and let your anger push you around

But there's something you need to know
My love for you, my best friend, is not for show
When the world lets you down i just want to be there
Sometimes, i know you are somewhere else but i don't know where

It seems like the world you live in is just too different from mine
I don't know when, exactly, we formed that line
I wish you would just look and take a minute to actually see
That when you do this, the pain is reflected in me

I love you, I will not ever, ever, leave
Just take a minute to actually breathe
Nothing that happens to you makes me worry less
I have to protect you, from this entire big mess

Don't always feel so alone
If I'm not there I'll be on the other side of that phone
Please don't talk about the grim side of things so often
My little heart can't take that, so be sure to keep your words softened

Hunny, please just think that maybe there's more
I know that healing your broken heart will be a chore
But I swear to you, i swear to you that I'm up to it
Give me a chance, and ill prove there's hope yet
