Look on the bright side is that thing you always say You think tomorrow will be better than today And yet I have found out to nobody’s surprise Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

I know there’s nothing wrong with being an optimist I know there’s many a silver lining I have missed I do not see the clouds as blessings in disguise Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

I’m finding out that any hope I have just fades You think the future’s bright so you have to wear shades But I’m not one to fall for any of your lies Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

You see the rainbow when I only see the rain Those anxious thoughts that keep on whirling through my brain And there no one to answer any of my cries Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes

The cynic in me says that dreams do not come true I sometimes wish I had the same outlook as you The lightning flashes through those dark and stormy skies Look on the dark side when the bright side hurts your eyes
