The Way That I Am by Escape the Day Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sebastian Ekstrand & Jonas Jenelin]
I haven't felt this way before
My heart is calling
Like a rush through my head
My veins are burning
An emotion of completion
A picture once so perfect itself
Is now fading away
As a new one is taking shape

[Chorus: Sebastian Ekstrand]
Leave me, it's not because of you
Leave me, it's what I'm going through
Leave me, you won't understand; it's out of your hands
It's the way that I am

[Verse 2: Sebastian Ekstrand & Jonas Jenelin]
A reality far from what
We use to have before
Now the perfect picture's gone
Can't do this anymore (Can't do this no more)
Tears are since long gone
A burning desire
For something else, it's all that is left
A perpetual fire

[Chorus: Sebastian Ekstrand & Jonas Jenelin]
Leave me, it's not because of you
Leave me, it's what I'm going through
Leave me (Leave me), you won't understand; it's out of your hands
It's the way that I am

[Bridge: Jonas Jenelin]
But I am not gonna pretend you know that it hurts
Deep from within; an empty hole
Filled with false satisfaction, keeping me going yet
I know that it has to be this way
It's the way that I am

[Chorus: Sebastian Ekstrand & Jonas Jenelin]
Leave me, it's not because of you
Leave me, it's what I'm going through
Leave me (Leave me), you won't understand; it's out of your hands
It's the way that I am
Leave me, it's not because of you (Because of you)
Leave me, it's what I'm going through (What I'm going through
Leave me, you won't understand; it's out of your hands
It's the way that I am
[Outro: Sebastian Ekstrand]
It's the way that I am
