☁️ Hello, everyone! This is an original song of mine. Hope you like it! The meaning isn't as deep as you might think. I was just thinking about how cynics think, and this came out. I HATE how I did the piano for this; too staccato! ☁️ ⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝ [Verse 1] I wanna believe that I'm Something better than I am Straight As, straight hair, no rules broken Never taken the Lord's name in vain With her eyes wide open I wanna claim I'm smart When I'm dumb sometimes I wanna say I didn't call her names But that would be a lie [Chorus] Sorry to be so damn jaded But I get so frustrated Cuz no matter how much they pretend People are usually the same in the end They don't change that much They don't change that much They don't change that much So don't hold your breath Expecting people to improve We are what we are Or what we're not We don't get to choose. [Verse 2] I could say I'll be better tomorrow I could say I'll be easier to swallow But I know those rules would be hollow I'd still be messing up I'd still be breaking stuff I'd still be getting lost I'd still be something you don't want I wanna say I'm good when I'm bad sometimes I wanna say I'm sweet but I'm not so kind I wanna say I'm not a hypocrite as I cross my own lines I wanna say I'm honest, but that would be a lie [Chorus] Sorry to be so damn jaded But I get so frustrated No matter how much they pretend People are usually the same in the end They don't change that much They don't change that much They don't change that much So don't hold your breath Expecting people to improve We are what we are We don't get to choose. [Verse 3] Life's made of flashing lines Words so bright that you go blind Ambitions rise Tensions high I wanna say I've never screwed up I wanna say I've never placed my trust In the wrong people, that left me to rust I wanna say I've been the bigger person when it was tough I wanna say I never cry I wanna say I always try But that would be a lie [Bridge] She said "I'm telling you the truth" He said "I believe in you" People lie Flowers die Cynics' hard hearts are usually right [Chorus] Sorry to be so damn dark But the truth is often harsh No matter how much they pretend People are usually the same in the end They don't change that much They don't change that much They don't change that much So don't hold your breath Expecting people to improve Take the high road, take the high road People don't take the high road We are what we are We don't get to choose. [Outro] They don't change that much They don't change that much Sinners and saints We're all molecules and stardust They don't change that much We don't change that much Don't hold your breath expecting us To change that much I'm afraid Human nature Is a monster we have made.
