Cynicism

I once saw a sunset

So vivid and warm that I swore it was perfect

I once had a lover,

I'm not sure if I'll recover,

But I know it was worth it

Then, last night in the car,

The falling raindrops looked like stars

Of some incalculable speed

Then later, my friends said

"Good to see you again, this is a home to me"

So I wrote a song and I called it "The Love of my Life"

Said "don't be gone long", it now sings me to sleep every night

And I never learned a lesson looking at my own reflection,

But sometimes it seems useful

So I loosen my heart strings in high hopes

Of starting to find something truthful

Cynicism isn't wisdom,

It's a lazy way to say that you've been burned

It seems, if anything,

You'd be less certain after everything you ever learned
