I’m Not A Cynic – Alec Benjamin 

I’m Not A Cynic Lyrics

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

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
no 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 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 emotion and pretend I’m okay
So like a boat on the ocean
I’ll just rock w the waves
