Cynic

Deep in the recesses of my soul lies a broken string
Guitar? Thread? Type writer ribbon?
Who knows
Something is missing. Something is broken.
And there's no one there to fix it.

Tear me up from the inside, because I'm dying to feel something
Don't care if it hurts. Don't mind if it's tender.
Just a little something to show I'm alive.
In case I've been forgotten in this web of life's lies.

Never thought I was so needy
Not until I stopped to actually think
I hate the feeling of neglect
Not that it's anyone's fault
We all move on and usually for the better
Don't stand still when you feel like running
Nothing worse than a restless feeling
Nothing worse than living for dying

Cynic? Me, really? Must have me confused.
No, this is my optimisstic face
See me smiling like there's liquid in my mouth?
Waiting for you to push on my cheeks and make me spit it out

Tired of the "you're so cute"
And never taking me seriously
I'm serious
Seriously malfunctioned
Give some credit
I've beyond earned it

Tired of the "You've been through so much at so young"
So have a lot of people. I'm not special. 
Just stupid. Young. Dumb. Restless. 
Don't praise me... just be glad I've learned something.

Cynic? Me, really? Must have me confused.
Just a girl making her way in the world 
Without taking anyone's Bullshit.
