Lyrics Negative Sides of Optimistic Eyes - Less Than Jake

Negative Sides of Optimistic Eyes

Trying not to hold my breath
But my lungs are filled inside this chest
I’ve been helpless and I couldn’t have cared less
Of anything that could or has been said
In the future, past, or 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 coming in
Foundation’s wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be missed
If I swim with the ship again
Trying not to hold my breath
But my lungs are filled inside this chest
I’ve been helpless and I couldn’t have cared less
Of anything that could or has been said
What those words mean or just what they meant
In the future, past, or 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 coming in
Foundation’s wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be missed
If I swim with the ship
Giving 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
And I’m on this edge in crisis
And I couldn’t care less
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 coming in
Foundation’s wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be missed again
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 coming in
Foundation’s wearing thin
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be missed
If I could swim with the ship
Giving up inch by inch
And I’ve lost my own best friend
