She could be
So cynical

She makes a joke, and she's laughing it off
It hurts her more than she would ever let on
You'll get through the winter, I promise you can
I know your sins, baby, I understand

This is all you've ever known
Oh, there's some good in letting go

She could be
So cynical
Cynical, cynical
She could be
So cynical
Cynical, cynical
She stays so sweet inside the bitter I can taste
Even when there's every reason to fold
Oh, even though she could be
So cynical
Cynical

Rough 'round the edges and soft to the touch
Dancing away left her past in the dust
Tore out the pages and built up the walls
She guards her heart and it's all just because

This is all she's ever known
Oh, there's some good in letting go

Oh, she could be
So cynical
Cynical, cynical
She could be
So cynical
Cynical, cynical
She stays so sweet inside the bitter I can taste
Even when there's every reason to fold
Oh, even though she could be
So cynical
Cynical, cynical

Cynical
Cynical
