Negative Sides of Optimistic Eyes - Less Than Jake

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
