Negative Sides Of Optimistic Eyes Lyrics

Trying not to hold my breath

But my lungs are filled inside this chest

I've been hopeless and I couldn't have cared less

Of anything that could or has been said

In the future past and present tense



Been my own best friend

With Clouds over my head

Been on this sinking ship

Decided that it's sink or swim

The water's comin' in

Foundations wearin thin

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be missed

If you swim with the ship again 



Trying not to hold my breath

But my lungs are filled inside this chest

I've been hopeless and I couldn't have cared less

Of anything that could or has been said

And what those words mean or what they meant

In the future past and present tense



Been my own best friend

With Clouds over my head

Been on this sinking ship

Decided that it's sink or swim

The water's comin' in

Foundations wearin thin

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be missed

If you swim with the ship

Givin up inch by inch



In twenty words or less I'll describe this mess

I've drank to forget, full of hopelessness  

Never cared what they said

I'm on this ledge in crisis and I couldn't care less



Been my own best friend

Clouds over my head

Been on this sinking ship

Decided that it's sink or swim 

The water's comin' in

Foundations wearin thin

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be missed

If you swim with the ship 

Givin up inch by inch

And I've lost my own bestfriend
