For waveforms that are sort of symmetric across the 0V with a time offset, such as a sine or square wave, this means that it is centered along the 0V line. A DC source, on the other hand, never changes voltage.
The 0V to +10V source you have is actually a -5V to +5V square AC plus a +5V DC. The capacitor is getting rid of the DC component leaving just the AC, which happens to be the -5V to +5V AC that you are getting.
