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
