Easier That Way

I've been thinking of the words I used to say when I was drinking
Seems like it's only yesterday when I was heartache
I didn't mean to treat you bad, but I was suffering from self-pity 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 wanna 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

I guess it's torture singing 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 to way back then
'Cause I got tired of that selfish little man
But I'm trying and I hope you understand that it's hard to put that bottle down
But it's easier that way

I guess it's torture singing 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 to way back then
'Cause I got tired of that selfish little man
But I'm trying and I hope you understand that it's hard to put that bottle down
But it's easier that way
