I am a cynic, it is my sin
Never let anyone close
I stay in my head, there is no way in
Keep everyone on their toes

Marry me, marry me, darling
I don't know, I don't know, oh
Why you agreed, you're still smiling
Battering down my strong hold

Storms will pass, storms will pass and come again
Close my eyes, open them, you still remain
Love is just chemicals in my brain
Love is falling upwards when you say my name
Say my name

I am a cynic, it is my sin
I don't know, I don't know, oh
How to be better at comforting
How not to dwell in my woes

There is a, there is an opening
I can feel, I can feel you getting in
Turn on the lights and the heating
Our vacancy sign has stopped glowing
Glowing

I don't believe in fate
I don't believe in heartache
When I don't see your face
Oh, my heart breaks

I don't know where I stand
The ground beneath is quick sand
The laws of physics bend
When you touch my hand
When you hold my hand

I am a cynic, but I'm changing
A cynic who stares up above
My stoney heart is melting
'Cos you, my love
You, my love
You, my love
