The Way I Am Lyrics

Im not very good at just paying attention
Im not very good at remembering things that you say
Im not very good at pursuing redemption
Im not very good at concealing the hand that i play

[chorus]
Its the way I am
You'll never change
the way I am
or rearrange
the way i am
just let me be
the way i am
its the way i am

Im not really sure of the coming attractions
Im not really sure of the illusions they read on the wall
Im not really sure of the ..?.. we practice
Im not really sure well notice it before we fall

[chorus]
Its the way I am
Youll never change
the way I am
or rearrange
the way i am
just let me be
the way i am
its the way i am

Im not very good at just paying attention
Im not very good at remembering things
Im not very good at pursuing redemption
Im not very good at concealing the hand that i play

when im trying so hard just to beat you
Im not really good at controlling my fate
Im not really good at controlling my anger
Im not really good at subduing my hate
Im not really good
Im not really good
Im not really good

[chorus]
Its the way I am
You'll never change
the way I am
or rearrange
the way i am
just let me be
the way i am
its the way i am

im not really good, im not really good, im not really gooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!. this song speaks so honestly, to me and to anyone that has faced problems in thier lives. It is an anthem to all of us that wish we could do better, want to do better. But we accept reality, we accept who we are. We want more, but just have to accept what we really are. (not really good)

I'm pretty sure the the line is "I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice". Oh and this is just a great song

i adore this song, having just got the album its one that's stood out at me, it represents tons of feelings when growing up i'd say, if you don't let society or others bully you around.

This song fits so many kinds of struggles, and I think it serves for my own struggle with alcoholism. It's consumed who I am, and nobody can 'rearrange' or 'change' it anymore. It's, quite literally, just the way I am, no matter how hard I try to kick the habit. And believe me, I've tried so hard 'just to beat [it]'.
