Glass half full on the days when I'm empty
Bet you thought you did a number on me
Well I'm sorry, heart may be a little broken, lonely
But I dont mind a little bit of lonely
I'll just be sipping lemonade from the lemons life gives me
Putting down watermelon tea
Cus I'm feeling better now
Put that pessimism in the past
One finger off the glass
I keep my pinky up to remind myself
That I'm still fancy
A little bit of lonely
Never killed nobody (Up)
I don't need no one
To make me happy
The sun is always shining above the clouds
I know I'll find someone to love next time around
I keep the homies close to my heart like a necklace
I play my laugh like strings on a harp only fretless
Its crazy how the dream fit together like its Tetris
Im out here playing chess while everybody playing checkers
I made this happen, but it wasn't overnight
Hundred hour weeks, but ain't nobody here me cry
Days are feeling low, thought that I had lost my mind
I wish I could have told myself it would be alright
That's just life, welcome to the ride
It'll knock your 'round bout a hundred times
But it could never rob me
Cus when I'm feeling down
I keep my pinky up to remind myself
That I'm still fancy
A little bit of lonely
Never killed nobody (Up)
I don't need no one
To make me happy
The sun is always shining above the clouds
I know I'll find someone to love next time around
