Cynical

[Verse]

You bite your lip and I hold my tongue

Side by side, we'll sit in silence all night long, all night long

[Pre-Chorus]

If you've got something to say just say it

These awkward silences just won't do

If you don't look at me baby the way you used to do

[Chorus]

I don't mean to be cynical

I don't mean to be cynical like you

I don't mean to be cynical

I just wanted more

I wanted more of you

[Verse]

Turning tables, rising tides

Side by side, I hide behind what's on my mind

Not on yours

[Pre-Chorus]

If you've got somebody else, just tell me

If you're in love with somebody who

Thinks that love seems a lot like it's not the grown up thing to do

I don't mean to

[Chorus]

I don't mean to be cynical

I don't mean to be cynical like you

I don't mean to be cynical

I just wanted more

I wanted more of you

[Bridge]

Gentle, as a whisper

Shallow, hollow, you can swallow me whole

Right to the root of the rot in the tooth now

[Chorus]

I don't mean to be cynical

I don't mean to be cynical like you

I don't mean to be cynical

I just wanted more

I wanted more of you

[Outro]

Swallow me whole

Swallow me whole

Swallow me whole

Swallow me whole

Swallow me whole

Swallow me whole
