I’m Not A Cynic

[Verse 1] 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 to admit this is the hint that I've been dealt I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself [Chorus] I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways But from every angle or the hour, it's the same I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today Uh, uh, uh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it [Verse 2] You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you Not every Sunday is a picnic, the [?] always blue You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view Some days you have to wait until the storms have passed through [Chorus] I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways But from every angle or the hour, it's the same I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today Uh, uh, uh [Verse 3] So like a boat on the ocean, rock in the waves God, I'm so sick of this notion that I'll have to face Fake my own motion and pretend I'm okay So like a boat in the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves [Chorus] I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways But from every angle or the hour, it's the same I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today Uh, uh, uh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
