I'm Not A Cynic - Alec Benjamin

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
