Pessimist

Plantin' lemon trees since I was twenty-three

Watchin', waitin' for it to grow but still it tasted bittersweet

No matter what I did

No matter what I did

I was hard headed to the ninth degree

Punch and push away anything I thought would make a mess of me

That's just what I did

That's just what I did

Make me die, make me melt

You've changed the way I felt

With your touch, with your help

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

You're all I see in my mind

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

Painlessly caught in your eyes

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

You make me believe this ain't no make believe

I stopped checkin' horoscopes to cope with all my misery

That's just what you did

That's just what you did, yeah

Make me die, make me melt

You've changed the way I felt

With your touch, with your help

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

You're all I see in my mind

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

Painlessly caught in your eyes

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

Make me die, make me melt

You've changed the way I felt

With your touch, with your help

You showed me what it means to fall in deep like no one else

You're all I see in my mind

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else

Painlessly caught in your eyes

I think I see a lifetime

Done holdin' on to myself

You took a pessimist and turned me into somethin' else
