Waking Up Crying

Can we talk about your heart please?
It must be so damn exhausting
Always seeing the worst in everybody
Including me
Can we discuss this condition?
Your negative disposition
To anybody that isn't you

I am not a terrible person
Like you tend to think I am
For some God-awful reason

Can we talk about your heart now?
It must be so debilitating how
You save so much room
for so much disdain

To me it just seems like
Everyone else is always the worst
But now self-reflection proves difficult
Before anyone speaks
You think you know what they think
What an incredible feat
To be forever in sync
With the over-analytical
Hyper self-critical
Mind of metaphysical
Optimistic cynical, people

I am not a terrible person
Like you tend to think I am
For some God-awful reason
I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh but I woke up crying
You tell me to laugh, but I woke up crying
Honey I want to laugh, but I woke up crying

I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh but I woke up crying
I would laugh, but I woke up, I woke up
I woke up, I woke up
I woke up, I woke up
