Alec Benjamin - I’m Not A Cynic [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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 hint that I've been dealt
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle or the hour, it's 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

[Verse 2]
You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you
Not every Sunday is a picnic, the [?] 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

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle or the hour, it's the same
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
Uh, uh, uh

[Verse 3]
So like a boat on the ocean, rock in the waves
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I'll have to face
Fake my own motion and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat in the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves

[Chorus]
I'm not a cynic but today is just not my day
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But from every angle or the hour, it's 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
