HAYL - The Cynic (Reimagined)

Panic attack in the back of a restaurant
Why can’t I catch my breath
Been losing count of my friends finding real ones
Wish I could be happy for them
But I stopped believing in love

That’s why I’m
Keeping my heart at an arm’s length
Cuz I’ve been burned before third degree
Guarding myself with an army, darling
Don’t take it personally

That’s the cynic in me, me, me
I’ll tell ya just what I think, think, think
Cause I got a rolodex of every ex who ever left and had the nerve to hurt me
No, no, not that way typically
It’s just the cynic in me
Me, me, me
The cynic in
Me, me, me

My heart wasn’t always this jaded, no
Used to catch butterflies for fun
And damn I hate that my faith is faded out
Where’d all the magic go?

That’s why I’m
Keeping my heart at an arm’s length
Cuz I’ve been burned before third degree
Guarding myself with an army, darling
Don’t take it personally

That’s the cynic in me, me, me
I’ll tell ya just what I think, think, think
Cause I got a rolodex of every ex who ever left and had the nerve to hurt me
No, no, not that way typically
It’s just the cynic in me, me, me

Yeah I know it’s no good for me
To keep a rolodex of every ex who ever left and had the nerve to hurt me
No, no, not this way typically
It’s just the cynic in me, me, me
The cynic in me, me, me

Can feel my misery affecting everybody
This negativity, can’t seem it shake it off me
I'm jaded
Frustrated
Can't fake it
Can't take it
Can you blame me?
I hate it, I hate it

Will this be temporary or is this the new me
Afraid I won't give up my heart to anybody
Rolodex of reasons I’m believing every single lie my mind has told me
That’s the cynic in me, me, me
I’ll tell ya just what I think, think, think
Cause I got a rolodex of every ex who ever left and had the nerve to hurt me
That's just the cynic in me, me, me
me, me, me
