[@shadow3199]

The fact that I relate so much to this song...I'm always just worrying about the future and expecting the worse, preparing myself for something bad to happen and then I wonder why I keep doing that. Its just eternal stress, thanks for this amazing song, you sir are so underrated.

[@tomokosroom2876]

I don't understand how your music can touch very deeply in a person's soul, other music that goes straight to my favorites

[@hadassaLE]

WOWWWW. The lyrics are so deep. I’ve always feel that but could never put it into words. Sometimes I feel like it’s even wrong to have a life going so well, I feel like it’s wrong to just be genuinely happy about it, so sometimes I’m scared to say it’s going great. Never new how to explain this feeling. Thank you for this.

[@bhavanikasomu5866]

This made me cry soooo badd
I'm 15 years, leaving my home for education
This hit that broken spot that was untouched

[@marianaduenas8815]

I also sing and play guitar and other instruments and I am an 11 year old girl and I would like to be like you one day because you are my true hero for me.🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@DragonRiderElf]

Some aspects of my life make me relate to this song. Say something is going well, you jinx it… but say something that could go wrong and you jinx it. Life is jinxed at this point, though. The only solution is to take it one second at a time. 🤷🏻‍♀️👌🏻

[@D.D.Bailey]

Another song to add to my JMH playlist :)

[@DragonRiderElf]

Same lol

[@ventithedrunk9506]

[Verse 1]
I'm an optimistic pessimist
I'll root for the worst even when my life is great
'Cause maybe I won't get hurt if I'm lookin' for the bad
Before it gets to me, mm
[Chorus]
'Cause maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today
[Verse 2]
I guess I try to divvy up the pain
So I don't feel the blow of disappointment every time it rains
So I just jump the pole before the things I loved turned into smoke
But that's all in my head
And I'm startin' to think
[Chorus]
That maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today
Maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Oh, oh, oh, why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So I worry 'bout tomorrow
But forget to live today, live today, live today

I'm an optimistic pessimist, I'll root for the worst
Even when my life is great
'Cause maybe I won't get hurt
If I'm looking for the bad
Before it gets to me
'Cause maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Ohh-ohh-ohh
Why am I this way?

So worried about tomorrow
I forget to live today, live today, live today
Mmmm-mmm-mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
I guess I try to divvy out the pain
So I don't feel the blow
Of disappointment every time it rains
So I just jump the boat
Before the things I love turned into smoke
But that's all in my head
And I'm starting to think
Maybe I'm scared to say
That my life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Ohh-ohh-ohh

Why am I this way?
So worried about tomorrow
I forget to live today, live today, live today
La la la la...
Maybe I'm scared to say
My life's going great
'Cause when I turn my back
I feel it might run away, run away, run away
Ohh
Why am I this way?
Why am I this way?
So worried about tomorrow
I forget to live today, live today, live today
And I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid anymore
