The Way I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Growing up my father told me
Son you know that boys don't cry
Bottled up emotions
Always tried to keep that shit inside
Now I don't know how to feel 'em
College when I met you
Never seen someone so beautiful
Told me that you love me
But you need somebody vulnerable
But I don't know how
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got problems that I don't understand
Every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
Thinking that you'll just get mad
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got issues that I don't understand
So every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
And I'm scared to love you like that
So sorry for the way I am
The way I am
The way I am
So sorry for the way I am
Don't expect, you to stay
After all these things I do
Wish I could take your hand
Promise that I'll pull us through
But it's all undone
No I can't, take it back
All the things I said before
Moments come, watch them go
Wish I said I love you more
'Cause it's not enough
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got problems that I don't understand
Every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
Thinking that you'll just get mad
I'm sorry for the way that I am
Got issues that I don't understand
So every time you ask me
Babe, you alright?
Then I stop like a deer in the headlights
And I'm scared to love you like that?
So sorry for the way I am
The way I am
The way I am
The way I am
So sorry for the way I am
