Pessimist Song from The Context by Ryan Sutter
When I wrote the words for this one I was thinking not of my own thoughts about other people, but of trying to reflect the negativity I saw in some of the people closest to me. It was meant to be kinda of sarcastic. The problem was once I started singing it, I started to feel it and it wasn't long before I had trouble deciding whether or not I agreed with it.

Lyrics
you know people let you down, boy
you know people let you down, boy
you know people let you down
so I don't want them around
you know people let you down, boy
you know people break your heart, boy
you know people break your heart, son
you know people break your heart
so I'm giving them no part of me
you know people break your heart, boy
ahhhh.....
you know people make you cry, son
you know people make you cry, son
you know people make you cry
wanna curl right up and die
you know people make you cry, son
you know people crush your soul, son
you know people crush your soul, boy
you know people crush your soul
so I'll dig myself a hole
you know people crush your soul
ahhhh.....
you know people kill your dreams, boy
you know people kill your dreams, boy
you know people kill your dreams
so I'll have to more it seems
you know people kill your dreams boy
you know love's a bad bad thing, boy
you know love's a bad bad thing, boy
you know love's a bad bad thing
makes you bleed until you sing
you know love's a bad bad thing, boy
ahhhh.....
you know people think they help, son
you know people think they help, boy
you know people think they help
but you're better by yourself
you know people think they help
