Cynicism - M Street

I once saw a sunset so vivid and warm
That I swore it was perfect
I once had a lover, I'm not sure if I'll recover
But I know it was worth it
Then last night in the car, the falling raindrops looked like stars
At some incalculable speed
Then later my friend said "good to see you again
This is a home to me"

So I wrote a song
And I called it "The Love of My Life"
Said "Don't be gone long"
Now it sings me to sleep every night

And I never learned a lesson looking at my own reflection
But sometimes it seems useful
So I loosened my heartstrings and high hopes of starting
To find something truthful
Cynicism isn't wisdom
It's a lazy way to say that you've been burned
Seems if anything you'd be less certain
After everything you've ever learned
