Cynical

I used to make fun of Those naïve, lovesick girls That stared out windows Daydreaming of the boys Who they'd been silly enough To give their hearts to I swore that I would never be So foolish as to fall, For with falling comes feeling The crushing pain of loss When it all undoubtedly Hits the ground But how could I predict The sensation that would come When you so suddenly Found your way behind these Walls I'd built so high? You with those eyes and that smile. How easily you persuaded me Out of my cynicism. My firm grip loosened When I heard you sing that night And I felt myself begin to fall, Not knowing if you'd catch me. Now I am that lovesick girl Who stares out windows Daydreaming of the beautiful boy Who holds her heart So carefully in his hands, Silently hoping That he'll decide to keep it.
