"Cynical Eyes" lyrics

It's taken some time to finally realize
I can still be afraid and put up a fight
I'm used to these walls and running for my life
But this time, I'm not on the outside

Oh, I'm not on the outside

I didn't run away this time, no
These cynical eyes, didn't see that I
Could be the hero this time

I was on the run, but what am I running from?
This town has begun to take more from me, they've won
I'll never know why these bad things happen
To me, to me

Just wait and see

I didn't run away this time, no
These cynical eyes, didn't see that I
Could be the hero this time
Be the hero this time, oh

I didn't run away this time, no
These cynical eyes, didn't see that I
Could be the hero this time
