Lyrics
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.
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at consealing the hand that I play
It's the way I'am
You'll never change
The way I'am
I've rearranged
The way I'am
Just let me be
The way I'am
Is the way I'am
I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
Not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall
It's the way I'am
You'll never change
The way I'am
I've rearranged
The way I'am
Just let me be
The way I'am
Is the way I'am
Not very good at just paying attention
Not very good at just remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at consealing the hand that I play
When I'm trying so hard just to beat you
I'm not really good at controlling my fate
I'm not really good at consolling my anger
It's the way I'am
You'll never change
The way I'am
I've rearranged
The way I'am
Just let me be
The way I'am
Is the way I'am
