If everything always went perfectly, I would feel like, When is the ball going to drop? Because good things don’t always last. Maybe I’m a pessimistic person. When something just seems too good, I can’t believe it.
Meaning of the quote
This quote suggests that the speaker doesn't fully trust when things are going well, because they worry that the good times won't last forever. They feel like something bad might happen, even when everything is going perfectly. The speaker admits they may be a pessimistic person, and they have a hard time believing it when something seems too good to be true. The main idea is that the speaker expects the good things in life to eventually come to an end, so they can't fully enjoy them.

Am I being typecast as a horrible person? I don’t know. I don’t think so. But if it happens, I’d rather get to play that, because there’s nothing fun about being sweet. Sweet can be so boring, so I’d be happy staying away from that.
