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
I'm not a cynic
Oh today is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand ways
But from every angle
The outlook is the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic,
My glass just has no water in it today
You only get that which your 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 is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand ways
But from every angle
The outlook 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 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
I'm not a cynic
Oh today is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand ways
But from every angle
The outlook is the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic,
My glass just has no water in it today
