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 hand that I´ve been dealt

I´m not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself

I´m not a cynic, oh, today´s just not my day
I´ve tried to spin it ´bout 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
Uh, uh, uh
I swear that I´m not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it

You only get that what you´re given, 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 by changing your point of view

Some days you have to wait until the storms have passed through

I´m not a cynic, oh, today´s just not my day
I´ve tried to spin it ´bout 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
Uh, uh, uh

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 emotion 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´s just not my day
I´ve tried to spin it ´bout 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
Uh, uh, uh
I swear that I´m not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
