Easier That Way Lyrics

I' ve been thinking of the words I used to say
When I was drinkin'
Seems like it's only yesterday
When I was heartached
I did't mean to treat you bad
But I was sufferin'
Of selfpity that I had
And I was tired
And I couldn't stand the pain
I couldn't put that bottle down

' cause it was easier that way

Now I don't wannna be
The same man I was back then
' cause I don't understand
All those selfish little plans
And when I look into my father's eyes
I see a torn and desperate man
Who couldn't put that bottle down
' cause it was easier that way
' cause it was easier that way

I guess it's torture singin' songs about the man I used to be
I wonder if you sometimes see that man inside of me
But I promise, I won't go back the way back then
' cause I got tired
Of that selfish little man
But I'm tryin'
And I hope you understand that it's hard to put that bottle down
But it' easier that way
But it's easier that way
