I’m Not A Cynic Lyrics – Alec Benjamin

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

Im 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 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

Oh…

I swear that I’m not a cynic
My glass just has no water in it

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 just 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 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

Oh…

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 w the waves

I’m not a cynic
But today’s just not my day
I’ve tried to spin it
Bout a thousand 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

Oh…

I swear that I’m not a cynic
My glass just has no water in it
Today…!
