"Complainer's Waltz" lyrics

Why do I do things to later regret them
Why do I love people just to upset them
Why do I try to stay dry in the rain
Why do I love to complain

Cause I don't think that blue birds
Are all-together sad birds
And when I see a red bird
It doesn't mean a mad bird
So maybe it could be
That I am projecting
Or maybe it just means
That I haven't learned a thing
Maybe one day I'll stay out of the rain
The day that I learn it's in vain

How am I empty and full of myself
Loving the spotlight and stuck on a shelf
Take what I say with a pillar of salt
Nothing is ever my fault

If fortune blew in on a comfortable breeze
I wouldn't mind
A chance to unwind
I could be sunny and easy to please
Weather permitting

I don't think that blue birds
Are all-together sad birds
And when I see a red bird
It doesn't mean a mad bird
Or maybe it could be
That I am projecting
Or maybe it just means
That I haven't learned a thing
Maybe one day I'll stay out of the rain
The day that I learn it's in vain
The day that I never complain
