[Verse 1] You read my face too fast Like it's a joke you know I keep my mouth half-closed You keep the cheap applause Got your list of reasons Folded in your sleeve I know that look by heart It's dressed in disbelief [Pre-Chorus] So save it for someone new I’ve heard that tune before You smile like a locked door I’m not knocking anymore [Chorus] Cynical, cynical Say it like you mean it (cynical) Cynical, cynical I can feel you leaning in Cynical, cynical You want the easy exit (cynical) Cynical, cynical But I’m still here [Verse 2] You want the cleanest cut No blood on your hands But every quiet promise Turns to paper in the rain I tried to keep it light You tried to keep it cold Now every word you waste Just makes the story old [Pre-Chorus] So save it for someone new I’ve heard that tune before You smile like a locked door I’m not knocking anymore [Chorus] Cynical, cynical Say it like you mean it (cynical) Cynical, cynical I can feel you leaning in Cynical, cynical You want the easy exit (cynical) Cynical, cynical But I’m still here [Bridge] Maybe that’s your shield Maybe that’s your game Maybe you’re just scared To say my name I’m not made of glass I don’t break that way If you want the truth Then say it straight [Chorus] Cynical, cynical Say it like you mean it (cynical) Cynical, cynical I can feel you leaning in Cynical, cynical You want the easy exit (cynical) Cynical, cynical But I’m still here
