Lyrics:

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 dealtI`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

Ooh
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 just passes 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

Ooh

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

Ooh
I swear that I`m not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
