How 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.
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero, keeping it real as I can, yeah
Don't ask me no questions
Hello, how are you? I don't know what to say
'Cause if I pretend and give you an answer
Would you care anyway?
When everybody wants something from me, I get out of rhythm
I already hid all the pills 'cause I'm no better with them
I'd rather be sad than happy on demand
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero, keeping it real as I can, yeah
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Come knock on my door, if you really want to
I won't send you away
But I won't apologize if I happen to have nothing to say
I've been living in a wasteland
Shaking cold hands, sinking in the quicksand
I don't got a master plan, man, doing what I can, man
If you give a damn, man, try to understand, man
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero, keeping it real as I can, yeah
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero, keeping it real as I can, yeah
That's just how I am
Yeah, that's just how I am
(That's just how I, that's just how I)
(That's just how I am, I'm)
I've been living in a wasteland
Shaking cold hands, sinking in the quicksand
I don't got a master plan, man, doing what I can, man
If you give a damn man, try to understand man
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero keeping it real as I can, yeah
That's just how I am, yeah, that's just how I am
Don't tell me how to feel 'cause I won't understand, yeah
That's just how it is, no, I don't got a plan, yeah
One double zero, keeping it real as I can, yeah
