I'm Not A Cynic

I'm just being realistic

Being honest with myself

I've tried being optimistic

But it doesn't seem to help

So I'll just have toto admit

This is the hand that I've been dealt

I'm not being pessimistic

Just being honest with myself

I'm not a cynic oh today it's just not my day

I've tried to spend it but a thousand different ways

But from every angle oh the outlook is the same

I swear that I'm not a cynic

My glass just has no water in it today

I swear that I'm not a cynic

My glass just had no water in it

You only get that what you're giving

It's not always up to you

Not every sunday is a picnic

Cause the sky ain't always blue

You can't just change the weather

About changing your point of view

Some daysI have to wait

Until the storm just passes through

I'm not a cynic or today's just not my day

I've tried to spend it but a thousand different ways

But from every angle oh

Is the same I swear that I'm not a cynic

My glass just has no water in it today

So like a boat on the ocean I'll rock with the waves

God I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake

Fake my emotions and pretend I'm okay

So like a boat on the ocean

I'll just rock with the waves

I'm not a cynic

Oh today it's just not my day

I've tried to spend it about a thousand different ways

But from every angle all

The outlook is the same

I swear that I'm not a cynic

My glasshas no water in it today

I swear that I'm not a cynic

My glass just had no water in it today
