The Way I Am

(albüm: Come Get Your Memory - 2023)

I don't like pointing fingers but, girl, you're the reason
That brown bottle keeps coming off the shelf
Might be holding this shot glass, paying the bar tab
But this broken heart didn't break itself
Say I ain't the same guy you knew before
I don't even know me no more

I been off the deep end, staying off the main roads
Ducking outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shooting ninety in-between them longnecks
Putting you behind me's got me in a trainwreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Right now, I kinda hate me too
But I am the way I am because of you

I don't wanna be crazy but, darling, you make me
Keep going back on the moving on
Scrolling through memories in-between getting gone
And I ain't the same since you did me wrong

'Cause I been off the deep end, staying off the main roads
Ducking outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shooting ninety in-between them longnecks
Putting you behind me's got me in a trainwreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Right now, I kinda hate me too
But I am the way I am because of you

You been telling this whole town half the truth
Saying I changed up right out the blue
But, baby, that ain't right, I ain't the same guy
But if they knew why

I been off the deep end, staying off the main roads
Ducking outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shooting ninety in-between them longnecks
Putting you behind me's got me in a train wreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Tell the whole town half of the truth
But I am the way I am because of you

But I am the way I am because of you
(Throw the blame around, write my name down)
(Right now, I kinda hate me too)
