Take a deep breath,
think about what you said.
Bring it back again
and realize what it meant.
It's just so hard here pretending
that everyone is perfect,
that everything is worth it
like it used to be.

I really wonder what happened,
I thought people never changed.

we skated schoolyard steps
and on the lake when it froze.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.

I used to laugh
but then it got old.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.

Where did the voices in my head
come from?
I swear it's all news to me.
I really wonder what happened,
I thought people never changed.
I really wonder what happened,
I thought this would never change.

we skated schoolyard steps
and on the lake when it froze.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.

I used to laugh
but then it got old.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.

You'll all throw
your wish in the well
but I'll keep mine a secret.
My body's soaked and raw.
I'm too tired to think
yet nobody cares at all.

we skated schoolyard steps
and on the lake when it froze.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.

I used to laugh
but then it got old.
Now I'm just cynical
and everybody knows.
