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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I really wonder what happened
I thought people never changed

[Chorus]
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
