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
[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
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
[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
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
Anyone 2024? Damn I am lonely here
You’re ok I’m here too
Im here 🔥
Jelen ☺️
Here
Hey

I will listen til the day I die
@@Rellimyeroc me too, such a great song. Goes so deep
Yup .. very good at coming back to listen.
I am!
Me
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
If there’s a heaven, I hope he’s there listening to this song.
Great song, and great memories❤
happy birthday to your Dad! may he Rest in Peace and I wish you find Peace as well!
That was very impactful. Thanks for sharing
Sorry about your Pop's, but I'm glad you two enjoyed this as your favorite song.😢
Staind is so underrated...... saying I love this band so much is an understatement
I have listened to them for 10 + years and they may be the most underrated band I've ever witnessed.
One hundred baby girl boom bitch hi don't even get insulted anymore
He fuckin kills it... Way underrated
Shit not back in the day.. #1 in my book some real life lyrics
A thumbs up doesn't do that comment justice! 🤘❤🤘
If it wasn't for this band I'll probably be dead these guys have kept me keep my head on straight stride forward legendary band 🤟⚡⚡
One foot in front the other brother. Hoping you are dealing well, just know you are loved and appreciated!
@Manuel Rivera Glad you're still here bub.
Manuel=BLEIB LOCKER, MEIN BESTER.

RIVERA.
Listening to all the songs all these years later is something no therapist could ever replace. So grateful rn
I grown up listening to Staind back in the late 90s early 00s high school days , I used to play their song on accoustic guitar with good friends, best time of my life ever..Staind was a voice of the full generation , I'm a 38 years family man and still playing Staind everyday while I'm going back from work , remembering how life was simple and feeling were true ,thank you staind
Well good news they coming out with a new album
I feel this I'm 39.
he uses his music to get through the rough times.... love it
thats what i do
We All Do. i know it has helped me. Meeting him again Saturday. To Thank The Man !!
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
This generation of music will never happen again the good ole days they got me thru some series times Linkin Park too breaking Benjamin
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 ...
This band has got me threw some pretty dark and scary situations. They talk to my heart and soul like so many good bands
Aaron Lewis always has done a great job at expressing himself and connecting with others thru his lyrics. This is my favorite Staind song. Check out the new album too it’s actually very good. I’m glad to see them comeback around! Saw them this past summer in Virginia and they opened with “lowest in me” which blew me away as I had no idea they were making new music! Great band for my generation. I remember when Illusion of Progress came out, liked the more emotional side of it. Great song!
I have loved staind for years!! this is just as good as there chapter V album. 5 star music here
Man, haunting voice......and killers drumming.
We’re all here brother
staind has some of the best lyrics I have ever listened too and I don't know anyone who can't relate Aaron Lewis really has something for this generation to hear
Jeff, you have hit the nail on the head, this song is so about my life
I will be 60 in MAY . i love Staind
Jeff Colwell I'll give u that, i like the old stuff........ but I can't deny, Aaron isn't done yet
just let me be myself. this song by staind is the shit!
I’m from the future this song is still rocking in 2054
One of the best songwriters of our time hands down.
The word, " its the way i am."
Already tell you an has spoken for itself.
Yes man!!That's the way you are!!
THIS SONG FUCKIN ROCKS. IT DESCRIBES EXACTLY HOW I FEEL AND HOW PEOPLE SHOULD JUST BE WHO THEY ARE AND KEEP MOVING FOWARD... STAIND 4EVA
Staind will never die!!! True talent never fades out
I love this song!!!! Bad ass
There's a reason why Staind is my my favorite band...and this is one of them. Easily, one of my top 3 favorite songs. Crossing my fingers for the day I see them live and also for a new album release
Alex Biersner didn't they break up? That one dude plays for saint asonia now
Alex Biersner they'll play at festivals from time to time
I don't think they broke up. Aaron Lewis is doing his country tour, so they're probably on hiatus at the moment
Alex Biersner It's a real shame but you will probably never hear another STAIND album or c them play again...Aaron went to the dark side years ago with his country shit and turned his back on all the fans that supported him for years. That's why Mike is a new band "Saint Asonia"..they are actually pretty good...I use too follow Staind all around the country..great memories but that's all that's left..#RIP STAIND
Michael Cumberledge "Turned his back" on his fans? 😂😂😂 Aaron is just returning to his roots. He grew up with country. And Staind isn't over. It's still an active band.
My favorite band!! His voice is so soothing!! Just saw them live and they still got it and then some!! 🤘🤘
I learned from a beautiful homeless man about this music and now I'm hooked 🙃🙂
Just listening to this song gives me chills. Their music is so personal, yet it relates to almost everything in my life. I love Staind.
Aaron Lewis is the greatest vocalist Ive every known in my life time... He sings with so much power, and he sings like me means it, like he's been through all his pain a hundred times. I'm proud to have the same first name :D !
I hate to disagree. Corey Taylor has by far, the most powerful live voice in "metal". Either way you cut it, Slipknot or Stone Sour. Corey is a fucking beast. He has an 18 inch neck, that is just insane. Google it.
you must not be more 5 years old then.
William Cruise you must not be more 5 years old then....... DA FUQ YOU SAYING! lol I
Yes im closed minded. That's my right just as its your to like those fruits you think are soo great.
c
staind is hard with hart and you cant get more raw than that, its luv and hate with a struggle of emotion and all true, one of my best bands
his last "the way i am" is completely amazing here!
LEGEND
I haven't heard this song yet. This is DEEP. I listened to it twice. Was in tears. I'm going through a rough time. This is me. To a degree of course. Definitely getting a Lyric tattoo of this song. Holy shit what a awesome and well written song 🎵 👍🤘👌🙏👊💯 thank you STAIND 🤘
This shit is so real it’s crazy!!!
GREATEST VOICE EVER!!!! 👌💪💪💪💪🎤🎤
Thank you staind for helping me get throught this troublesome break up.
This saved my life
+Rachel Wasson I can definitely relate...
me too guys it saves me every time i get lost in my screwed up life
mine too
Godsmack will be touring with these Staind in the summer next year. FUCK. YEAH.
I'm 60 years old and an old Hippie not since the Grunge Era have I heard a Band any better than this, You guy's keep Writin' & Singin' & I'll keep buyin' 'em^^
This song speaks to me like most others don't. I have ADHD and Depression and relate to almost every word sung.
Me too, I relate to this song and epiphany because I have depression, ADD and autism. Though the depression and autism are mild, it’s still debilitating and I just learned that ADD is separate from autism. Just gotta get through it though, day by day.👍😊🤟
Addiction, adhd, depression and anxiety here .... keep strong
Yes.....I understand. Sometimes we are dealt a hand we cannot change,however if life gives you lemons make the most of them !!!
The Seether band songs brings the same feelings to me.
Staind has never failed me when im in a rough patch in my life . Aaron lewis has saved me multiple times.
History will be kind to them. 📖
[Verse 1]
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 pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing 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
[Verse 2]
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
[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
[Bridge]
I'm not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at rememberin' things
I'm not very good at pursuin' redemption
I'm not very good at concealin' 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
I'm not really good
I'm not really good
[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
The way I’d say most us are Aaron n Staind, we luv your music and been patiently waiting for more. I enjoy your country and honestly want some old school Staind back from the 90s
Best of the best nu metal and alternative metals ,band is King .
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
I love how he describes me in this song!
This song should go out to the kids who gets bullied every single day. May they find this song and find some strength and peace
I'm not sure if this will help kids being bullied. But definitely help those that are different and maybe get picked on even by people they consider friends, and they feel they need to change to fit in.
If they are being bullied, they need more than just a song to help them out.
@@joemann7971 I guess you're right brother.. it was just an opinion. But yours make more sense
@@jceupton8119 I did understand you. It certainly will help with those dealing with cyber bullying. It just wont help those that are being harrassed, in the more stereotypical version of a bully. Think Nelson from the Simpsons.
Some schools just do little to nothing in regards to bullying
38 and till this day i tell my g/f of many years thats the way i am!!!!! Love you babe!
I need some new Staind songs!!!
I think the same :(
in a few years
Spider-MenJacob it's never going too happen...Staind is done...Mike is in Saint Asonia, they are pretty good. All Aaron cares about now is getting "country fans" too buy his crap..#RIP STAIND
Theyre back for a reunion tour so that should lead to another album
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.....
I’m hope you’re doing okay ❤️❤️
Hey binibobob b bobbing BBC b
Keep going is the only way
Hope your doing ok my friend.
Impessive song. Staind is consistently putting out good music. Reminds me of Creed before they self destructed. Not comparing their music, just the quality of their music.
It's the way I am ✊!!! Let me beeee!!!
Mike Mushok RULES
ANDERSON BARBOSA completely underrated guitarist
As far as song writing goes , I doubt that anyone will ever come close to Aaron Lewis and Co. Sometimes just hearing them kills me . I am thankful for this music.
Sully from Godsmack is just as good if not better. Matter of opeion
I loooovveee this song...
+Tania Flores I can't stop listening it again and again...
the best part about the video is that it was made in my home city of dallas...even thought they are from mass they still got a whole lot of love for texas
you got that right, Now if more of us thought like that we would all be in a much better place
Soundtrack of my fucking life!
You've clearly never heard of them before. Many of their songs have heart and soul to them, show deeper pain filled emotions that music nowadays doesn't.
"For You" "It's Been Awhile" "Everything Changes" "Right Here" "Outside" "Epiphany" and that's just a few.
I totally agree with you on that one dude's 😎😉🥳🥳🙂😙😚😊🤭🤭🤭🤩🤩🤩😁😃🍂🌲🌲😭😗😗🤗😅😅☺️🤣😂😄🏳️🏳️🌿🌿😄🍂😭😭😭😗😭🍂😭😭🍂😗🌲🍂😄😆😆😅🤣🤣🤣🥳🤩🌲😗😭😃😚😃🌲😗🍂😭😗🍂😭😭🌲😗😭😭🌲😗🤣😭🌲🌲😭🍂😭🌲🤗😭😭😗🌲😭😭😙😄😚
Staind, Godsmack, and Halestorm........ U BETTER COME TO ROCKFORD ILLINOIS
Well it's not one of my favorite Staind songs, but (as with any Staind song) it sounds good and there's some qualities in the song that I admire
you are just awesome!!! 😃
aaron lewis is one of the greatest artists walking the earth today...dying breed....
I totally agree with bzeisset. My inner feelings, "my soul" nobody can change.
What a good song
This song is so me!! He sings songs that are my life!!! Love Him!
word
End of universe and of nu metals and alternative metal's .
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 band, safe to say they changed my life.. I hope they keep blessing this world with their music, been a pleasure to watch their music grow over the years.. Seen them live in London on their Break the Cycle tour, amazing then, amazing now.. :) xx

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!
Aq
Your not gonna change the way I am!! YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
If you can't be happy alone then how can you be happy in a relationship. I see so many people out there that have to be in a relationship just to be happy. I've never really understood that, live life and be happy regardless if you single, married, or dating. Life is too short to worry about pointless shit.
You right !!
It's been a while since I've heard them, love it, still going with powerful lyrics.
I see what you did there :p
Aaron Lewis , I love your Band . I have been listening to all your cd's the Versatile music from one cd to another makes it all that much better .
It's the way I am,you'll never change the way I Am, just let me be 🙂
All beautiful their songs
my wife would say this is my theme song..lol Fn guys kick ass!
Heart in music will always beat competition
Legends
"I'm not really good at remembering things..." This ADHD guy feels you, sir Aaron.
Miss Arron this way man. He was all I listened too, now idk if I care for his music nomore
We appreciate/love STAIND...🔺🔺🔺
I have lately been into more Staind songs and i have to admit that i really like them.. What made the greatest impression on me is that the singer doesnt have any special body shape(Great Muscles etc) . If he hadnt have so many tattoos he could have been my role-model . But in most videos and certainly in this one we can see the amount of emotions he puts out .. Keep up with the great job.
Aaron Lewis even "wrote" Outside when he was on stage during the Family Values tour. If that song isn't straight from the soul then truly must not know what is.
love the music, but sometimes the memories are murder on me ;p
**Yes so true **#Nate** **#Krowe**, Very True my Bro**
**Im following you, if youd like to follow back I have alot of Staind & Aaron Lewis Music, take care**
Very true man
Amen to that
Yeah bro... tell me about it! You're not alone!
I totally agree...Let Me Be Me! take Me As I am or Set Me free!!
Started loving these guys the moment I heard Mudshovel in 1997. I know all the lyrics all these years later, and can sing to most of the albums. Helped me through some tough depression. Stay strong everyone.
What a voice 😮
Staind needs to get back together wish they didn't split they speak the truth and life and really get u in your feels
They are doing shows this summer and have announced a new album. I guess they listened to ya.
Aaron Lewis is a lyrical genius :)
im back n still in luv with staind.... aint neva gnna change it!!!!
its thier rules, but its your life.. live it the way you want, in the end your the one thatl own up to it
Todos los dias escucho esta cancion y muchas mas de ustedes staind lo mejor
Essa banda me faz recorda minha adolescência, agora quase 10 anos dps volto a ouvir com meu pequeno Vicente de 3 meses'💙
dysfunction was the baddest ass album from staind. good hardcore stuff. not many people remember mudshovel
the the is such a band. the the is matt johnson.pure genius
I wish i could play this song to al the people who treat me badly for being different.
