Cynical One

Well, I believe in love
though I act like I don't.
And you can make me smile
though I'll make like I won't.
And I have my dreams
but they're sweeter than I like to seem, so

Don't try to cheer me up.
Don't try to call me out.
You know I won't fall for it.
You know I'm the cynical one.

Well, I like half the stuff
that I try to put down.
It's just a game you play
when there's people around.
I've tried to be nice
and I swear that was my only vice. so

Don't try to cheer me up.
Don't try to call me out.
You know I won't fall for it.
You know I'm the cynical one.

If you walk naked through this place
anything can hurt you.
And we could make a better world
but I'm not sure we deserve to.

Well, I believe in you
and this thing we've begun.
I seem to be in love.
(Please don't tell anyone!)
Well, I take it all back,
but would you mind if I
still dressed in black?

Don't try to cheer me up.
Don't try to call me out.
You know I won't fall for it.
You know I'm the cynical one.
