often

[Verse 1] I pick fights on myself 'cause I don't think I've known any better Started at 14 years old with the mirror that hung from the dresser, yeah 17 when a friend of a friend at the bar told me I had a pretty face If you know what that means then you know that it's never a cute mistake So sorry for the ones you've had to go through Backhanded compliments they get away, no consequence While the subconscious of my mind keeps holding on to Every single word they said, it's something you just can't forget [Chorus] You think that optimism's just a part of common sense For me it's work I've got to turn off and on, yeah I'm not expecting not to think of a bad thing again I'm just too, wishing that it didn't happen often Often Didn't happen often I'm just here wishing that it didn't happen often [Verse 2] Can't fit into my clothes Out with friends, I stay home Friday nights I don't go Get some things, we all grow Guess some things never change I was just made or break It's a part of my DNA It's always been that way 'Cause they want nothing when I'm all in Yeah it happens way too often [Chorus] You think that optimism's just a part of common sense For me it's work I've got to turn off and on, yeah I'm not expecting not to think of a bad thing again I'm just here wishing that it didn't happen often Often It didn't happen often (wishing, wishing) I'm just here wishing that it didn't happen often [Bridge] Lying to myself, I'm lying Try to fix a wiring in my head, I just can't stop this Trying to be open-minded Maybe one day I'll be, woah [Chorus] You think that optimism's just a part of common sense For me it's work I've got to turn off and on, yeah I'm not expecting not to think of a bad thing again I'm just too, wishing that it didn't happen often Often (Often) Didn't happen often-n-n I'm just here wishing that it didn't happen often
