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

Tough breaks still ain't enough to break me
