The Way I Am

I don't like pointin' fingers but, girl, you're the reason
That brown bottle keeps comin' off the shelf
Might be holdin' this shot glass, payin' the bar tab
But this broken heart didn't break itself
Say I ain't the same guy you knew before
I don't even know me no more

I been off the deep end, stayin' off the main roads
Duckin' outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shootin' ninety in-between them longnecks
Puttin' you behind me's got me in a trainwreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Right now, I kinda hate me too
But I am the way I am because of you (because of you)

(I am the way I am)

I don't wanna be crazy but, darlin', you make me
Keep goin' back on the movin' on
Scrollin' through memories in-between gettin' gone
And I ain't the same since you did me wrong

'Cause I been off the deep end, stayin' off the main roads
Duckin' outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shootin' ninety in-between them longnecks
Puttin' you behind me's got me in a train wreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Right now, I kinda hate me too
But I am the way I am because of you

You been tellin' this whole town half the truth
Sayin' I changed up right out the blue
But, baby, that ain't right, I ain't the same guy
But if they knew why

I been off the deep end, stayin' off the main roads
Duckin' outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shootin' ninety in-between them longnecks
Puttin' you behind me's got me in a train wreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Tell the whole town half of the truth
But I am the way I am because of you

But I am the way I am because of you
(Throw the blame around, write my name down)
(Right now, I kinda hate me too)
