How Did I Get Like This

How did I get like this How did I get like this How did I get like this Yeah momma gonna be pissed How did I get like this She gonna be so disappointed So many choices but I always choose the wrong ones Endless paths, I'm always on the long ones I've gone from moving fast to slow to And moving back and forth until I'm back at home Dang Wheels spinning like I'm caught in the mud Getting caught up in love like I was caught up in drugs The wrong ones, the wrong way Same crap, its just the wrong day I gotta say life is getting too predictable Feeling good things about to get difficult I'm overcritical of all that I do Because I know who I am, so I've been failing reviews I give the best advice, that I refuse to take "We can still be friends", I refuse to shake And I'm amused to say I've been accused of hate I'm just a lover with some fight, so excuse me How did I get like this I got a trail of tears its pretty hard to miss How did I get this way Where'd my direction change its pretty hard to say All my choices made all ended up mistakes Tough breaks still ain't enough to break me In search of safety like never before Forever wanting more afraid of what's in store Mercy me, how did I get this way I try to feel dismay instead I fell okay I won't pretend and say that I'ma ever change But I hope one day to find I'm not the same I used to be ashamed. What a waste of time Heavy guilt from crimes and all those sins of mine And after all that trying, I found nothing working Looking over that cliff it can't be worse than hurting But light burdens got me back on my feet Got me acting like me and who I know I can be And with a second to breath, I see the path so clear Looks like I'm right on track, guess I got nothing to fear I'm afraid of falling, I hear the past calling Like disaster looming until the crash is booming And as the laughter fades I'm looking right at fate I stare him right in the face and tell him not this day How did I get like this I got a trail of tears its pretty hard to miss How did I get this way Where'd my direction change its pretty hard to say All my choices made all ended up mistakes Tough breaks still ain't enough to break me In search of safety like never before Forever wanting more afraid of what's in store How did I get like this I got a trail of tears its pretty hard to miss How did I get this way Where'd my direction change its pretty hard to say All my choices made all ended up mistakes Tough breaks still ain't enough to break me In search of safety like never before Forever wanting more afraid of what's in store How did I get like this
