I'm just being realistic
Being honest with myself
I’ve tried being optimistic
But it doesn’t seem 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
But today’s just not my day
I’ve tried to spin it
'Bout a thousand diferent 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
I swear that I'm not a cynic
My glass just has no water in it
You only get that which
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 storm just passes through
I'm not a cynic
But today’s just not my day
I’ve tried to spin it
'Bout a thousand diferent 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
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 emotions and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the ocean
I’ll just rock with the waves
I'm not a cynic
But today’s just not my day
I’ve tried to spin it
'Bout a thousand diferent 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
I swear that I'm not a cynic
My glass just has no water in it today
