Cynic Songtext
von Noah Kahan

I′d change my name to find a space to get some rest
I'd give my face to find a place to put my head
But this is who we are
There′s no glamor to it
I board the plane and sleep my way to LAX
I cried at the rain, but there's no way that I'm depressed
Oh, if I think too hard
I′m scared I might lose it

Oh
The Hollywood sign don′t catch my eye much anymore
Oh-oh-ooh
Leave it to time to make me feel I'm getting old
I′m living with it
Give me the open mind that I had before


Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I'm living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I′m living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, I'm a cynic
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before

They sense the blame that comes with failure and success
Would it make me famous if I break down in the press
And give them what they want
There′s no effort to it

Oh
The Hollywood sign don't catch my eye much anymore
Oh-oh-ooh
Leave it to time to make me feel I'm getting old
I′m living with it
Give me the open mind that I had before

Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I′m living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I'm living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, I′m a cynic
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
Give me the open mind that I had before


I miss the days when one was better than the last
I miss the taste of growing pains I knew would pass
Oh, I miss those thoughts
And that fear of losing

Oh
I don't know why I see no light in anything
Oh-oh-ooh
Leave it to life to turn my strengths back into weaknesses
But I′m living with 'em
So give me the open mind that I had before

Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I′m living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I'm living with it
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, I'm a cynic
Oh-oh-oh
Give me the open mind that I had before
There′s something missing darling, oh
I′m living with it
'Cause I′m a cynic, darling, ah
Give me the open mind that I had before
