it won’t always be this way

Speak of the devil in he walks
It's like his ears burn when I talk
Pushed in a gutter, stuck in a rut
Waiting for the next turn of the knife in my gut

Just trying to do whatever
To somehow make myself feel better
But I guess I've got you to thank
Broken like the bottle that you drank

But it won't always be this way
It won't always be this way
Don't know how many times I'll say
It won't always be this way

Feels like I'm drowning in a dream
With a breath of air just out of my reach
And I'm kicking as hard as I can
God, I wish you were a better man

It won't always be this way
It won't always be this way
Don't know how many times I'll say
It won't always be this way

So don't you cry my little one
Don't talk about what your daddy done
Like a bird, we'll fly away someday
I promise I'll plan our getaway

It won't always be this way
It won't always be this way
Don't know how many times I'll say
It won't always be this way
Don't know how many times I'll say
It won't always be this way

It won't always be this way
It won't always be this way
Don't know how many times I'll say
It won't always be this way

Got down on my knees to pray
It won't always be this way
Cause my new life starts today
It won't always be this way
