"it won't always be this way" lyrics

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

Just tryin' to do whatever
To somehow make myself feel better
But I guess I 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 drownin' in a dream
With a breath of air just out of my reach
And I'm kickin' as hard as I can
But I wish you were a better man

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

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

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
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
