I'm Not A Cynic

[00:00.01] I'm just bein' realistic, bein' honest with myself

[00:03.65] I've tried bein' optimistic but it doesn't seem to help

[00:07.15] So I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt

[00:10.81] I'm not bein' pessimistic, just bein' honest with myself

[00:15.81] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

[00:18.95] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

[00:22.20] But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same

[00:25.70] I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

[00:40.63] I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it

[00:44.27] You only get that which you're given, it's not always up to you

[00:47.53] Not every Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue

[00:51.53] You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view

[00:55.28] Some days you have to wait until the storm just passes through

[00:59.53] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

[01:03.28] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

[01:06.53] But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same

[01:10.03] I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

[01:27.52] So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves

[01:31.03] God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake

[01:35.28] Fake my emotions and pretend I'm okay

[01:38.53] So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves

[01:43.78] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

[01:47.53] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

[01:51.03] But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same

[01:54.03] I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

[02:08.93] I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
