Staind - The Way I Am Lyrics
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
I'm not very good at persuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am
I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
I'm not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
I'm not really sure if we notice it before we fall
It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
When I'm trying so hard just to beat you
I'm not really good at controlling my fate
I'm not really good at controlling my anger
I'm not really good at subduing my hate
I'm not really good [x3]
[chorus]
It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

Staind The Way I Am Comments
I'm not really good
Its the way i am.
Sorry babe
This song has re-lodged in my head
Love this song😎👍💯
Aaron Lewis and Corey Taylor are probably the two best Lyricist in music today!!
Love his voice ❤
sampaoli
👍😐👉 🎸🎶🗿🎤
Saddens me nothing of this type of music exist anymore at all. . .
Not very good at just paying attention
Not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
When I'm trying so hard just to beat you
Nuff said. I'm damaged, i have demons, and I'm good with myself. Take it, or leave.
MOST UNDERRATED BAND
A good song for todays pussies to absorb, be your fucking self, not the bitch the modern world makes you think you should be, for reasons you dont even like or understand.
This song speaks to me like most others don't. I have ADHD and Depression and relate to almost every word sung.
Corey Taylor is BEST!
Still loving my left hand more since he grabbed it at a concert and said he loved me too. I'm still shook and that was 10 or more years ago.
You must hate in order to ever survive in life, not everybody will like you or love you, yet they will play ya, masks can be held facially or vocally even body wise they can deceive others.
Some songs can not be played loud enough when it literally speaks from you so damn loudly... It's like you're finally being heard !
this song kicks ass
This song is just what you need you know
Aaron Lewis has a great voice, no argument there...However, no body can touch Steve Perry & Freddy Mercury.
Must be nice to have a bass player who kept it simple
When you attempt to change anybody an hold everything unto them threw there past an present mistakes... What personality will you get with
D. I. D? EXPLOSIVE PERSONALITY DISORDER! yes, ash died yet you forgotten 1 that's way worse surprise its chevelle! One not to fuck with, unfuckable with also!
Society thinks you have to or must conform to there ways an beliefs... NO! IS A SIMPLIST ANSWER an a really relevant one also. I am me your not me you have no clue how or why I feel the way I do, nor does anyone really 100% know the real me, never allow others to become close to me. I become a walk target because of this anybody you open up to uses junk against you, even when you never said anything about things to them, they just makes accusations of there own, allow this make them. None existent to your life after this occurs. They have to look into there own mirror an see who they really are when doing this. There talk about there own self's not you. Its there problem they have not yours.
Stop making songs about me. U don't know me dude. Haaa
God it feels like a lifetime ago
How things have changed
How I have changed
I wanted to not recognize myself when I look in the mirror in 5 years. Took a bit longer than that but I succeeded
Love this
Legend Aaron Lewis ❤️🙇🏻♂️🙏😎
Pak Refa ada disini ternyata 😀..
one of the few bands that carried their weight in everyway possible. One of the most talented vocalist ive ever heard. every song is unreal. april 2019 still strong
Love this song
Oh I could change him... not that he needs to be changed bc he is perfect
Hes singing of being an atheist
2019 someone??
Hell yes brother. Every year
Definitely...
Staind is so underrated...... saying I love this band so much is an understatement
I hear you, you've got taste, love from bonnie Scotland x
I have listened to them for 10 + years and they may be the most underrated band I've ever witnessed.
Especially when you have bipolar PTSD agoraphobia and ADHD got to love it
👍🌹
Anybody else ever notice every frontman in this genre is either bald or has long hair
When i was young and just beginning to hang out with my father he would listen to it . He never made the best decision but always had good intent , and i know he loved me . This became his and my favorite song we both loved it , he passed 3 years ago and this song reminds me so much of him i can even picture the countless times and places we listened to it . Its his birthday today and this song helps me through my struggles and i know it helped him through his . Its an old song but easily is my favorite and always will be
Not everybody needs to be a reclamation project but this song definitely makes you feel like you are one
My soon to be wife just left and lied and said she hasn’t loved me in months just for not being someone she wanted me to be..that’s just not me this ones for her 🥃🍺💔🥺🤧
GOD BLESS YOU AND PLEASE GIVE ME THE STRENGTH OF HAVING ME DO WHAT YOU HAVE OF ME. GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO JUST NOT QUESTIONING YOU IN ANY WAY. YOUR WILL TRULY BE DONE. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME TO DO ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE OF ME. YOUR BIGGEST PAIN AND ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST SINNERS. YOUR CHILD IN CHRIST. DEREK STEEL. PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS AND THANKS FOR HAVING SOMEONE SUCH AS AARON LEWIS PLAYING SO MANY DIFFERENT SONGS THAT REALLY HELP ME THROUGH OUT OF THE DAY. I TRULY GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. ALSO THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVING UP ON ME EVEN AT TIMES WHEN I HAVE GIVEN UP ON MYSELF
Ditto Ditto
Staind has never failed me when im in a rough patch in my life . Aaron lewis has saved me multiple times.
To me this song is for the people who tried so hard to change and try to for fill the expectations of other. But have to discover the hard way, that they can't ...
The past two months my life has been flipped upside down, my heart broken and destroyed. So close to suicide and hearing this song after so long has helped me so much. Thank you Aaron Lewis
you are worth something....you will always be worth something...dont let life and its antics ever, ever make you feel any different . ive been a rider on this for soooooo long... believe me, life will cycle as it often does. be there to receive whats owed to you with a smile. hell yea.....
God made you and I the way that we are meant to be and most of all remember that God doesn't make mistakes and by saying that he made a mistake is like saying that he is not perfect and that you know best and that you would be able to do a better job even though he is are truly not perfect but that you are and that you are able to do better than our creator that would truly be sad if that ever where to go through anyone's mind God bless you all and I will be praying for you all from one day to the next Love you all Derek
I love staind. Theor misic and lyrics are powerful and I can actually hear what he's singing.
A chubbier Neagan from The Walking Dead. You know you see it now too.

Wonderful
This was filmed in Deep Ellum, just east of downtown Dallas Texas, on top of the Prophet Bar/Door clubs.
This was 10 years ago... Time is flying and I keep going back to the music that I grew up listening to.
one of the best #MGTOW songs / hymns
staind with sad metal i liked..
Sounds like Seether
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
I'm not very good at pursuiting redemption
I'm not very good at conceiling the hand that i play
[chorus]
It's the way I am
You'll never change
the way I am
or rearrange
the way i am
just let me be
the way i am
it's the way i am
I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
I'm not really sure of the illusions they read on the wall
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
I'm not really sure well notice it before we fall
[chorus]
It's the way I am
You'll never change
the way I am
or rearrange
the way i am
just let me be
the way i am
it's the way i am
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuiting redemption
I'm not very good at conceiling the hand that i play
when i'm trying so hard just to beat you
Im not really good at controlling my fate
Im not really good at controlling my anger
Im not really good at subdueing my hate
Im not really good
Im not really good
Im not really good
[chorus]
It's the way I am
You'll never change
the way I am

the way i am
just let me be
the way i am

i just bought this cd kind of like their old stuff
Apparently he's "not very good" lol
Thanks for the lyrics. I was listening to this song when I was hit by a car on my motorcycle at 60mph. The hair on the back of my neck stands up every time I hear this song or approach the impact site!
May 2018 who's with me.

October 2018 and I still listen to every song they have ptoduced starting with Tormented
@Kenneth Thibodeaux so doi
February 2019
Aaron with Gibson SG?
Really!! I'd never seen him without the acoustic or Gibson Les Paul or 310...good eye!!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=279VPDaJbNw
greatest vocalist of all time... Aaron Lewis!
If my life was a sitcom (or most likely a morbid dark dramedy), this would be the theme song
AMAZING SONG.
Staind needs to get back together wish they didn't split they speak the truth and life and really get u in your feels
Don't know if I would really like this song in my opinion
Love this guy an his music lyrics man always gets me when im down an out but this song is so me.
love this song👍💯
Anthem of my life,nough said
It's to bad Aaron sold out his fans and band members to do that "country" thing.
This Is Staind.
I'm not really good, I'm not really good, I'm not really good.
LOVE THIS SONG
Where was this filmed at??
Im not very good at paying attention, not very good at remembering things, not very good at concealing the hand that I play (metaphorically speaking through times in life) I am not very good at controlling my anger. These are things my parents have told me but I am working at it and it's been a long hard road out of hell for me. But hey! noone is 100% and as long as we learn from our mistakes shit only gets better and we cant be someone else, its just the way we are. I really can relate to staind and aaron probably has been to hell and back so Aron you are a hero and you are NOT alone. Rock on man!!
HE'S NOT REALLY GOOD! YES! *a million demons cry out in joy, like when The Master dies in ActRaiser2* Too gay? I'll work on it.
I wish I couldn't remember---I'm. No good. That's just the way I am. Love you staind (this song is on the list of songs to play at my funeral) I hope all the haters get it.
Aaron Lewis without a doubt one of the best of his time.but of all time axel rose.
Damn, this speaks to me
Love this song
Honestly I will say Aaron Lewis has been the best singer. He basically describes the inner self of everyone in life. The fight of depression consumes us all and these songs show us that it is hard it is gonna be damn hard to get through life. It is not easy guys like him even suffer from depression.
I am the way I am if I wasn't then why would I say i am in the paper the news everyday i am radio won't even play my jam
Aaron Lewis Is Amazing 👌🏻🙏🏻💯🎶
Adrian.
quality not like trash metal aLICE IN chains.
Still so many great singer around....
My Dad passed away last month at 76. We played this song at his funeral. We miss and love you Dad.
some of the most loyal fans
Aaron can and will say anything he thinks people want to hear. STAIND is done..!!! It is a shame but it was all Aaron's ego. I will always love STAIND and Aaron's voice but he is a sellout...he wraps himself in the American flag and is always looking for a way to get attention. The Aaron that all the true STAIND fans worshipped is gone. You will never see another STAIND show again...really is a shame...so of the most loyal fans. #RIP STAIND
This is amazing. Illusion of Progress rocks, I love how poetic the lyrics are and how raw and emotional the heavy parts are. Aaron Lewis is the real deal. My soul is staind with their music.
Solace Palisano He use to be real..now he's a bloated loudmouth that will say or sing anything to get the country shit kickers to buy his terrible "music"...#RIP STAIND
Aaron Lewis has saved me for years and continues to save me. Such power in his music. Truly my favorite musician of all time. Amazing and beautiful and deep ♡♡♡♡
I am right here where are you?
boooommmmmm
