The Way I Am Lyrics - Jennifer Knapp

Blind these eyes who never tried 

To lose temptation 

I'm so scared, where's the hesitation? 

You so easily proved that you could save a man 

I am that man 

It's better off this way 

To be deaf, dumb and lame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

It's better off this way 

Than be groping for the flame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

Still this tongue for I am hung 

By this wicked notion 

Tame the beast, release 

The noose I've woven 

O, wasted tears dripping from my tongue 

Well, I'm hung, hung 

It's better off this way 

To be deaf, dumb and lame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

It's better off this way 

Than be groping for the flame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

Crooked path you never asked 

You just left me there 

And I deal with the aftermath 

And you don't even care 

O, crooked feet you nimbly meet 

The place of my fears 

It's better off this way 

To be deaf, dumb and lame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

It's better off this way 

Than be groping for the flame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

It's better off this way 

To be deaf, dumb and lame 

Than to be the way I am, I am 

It's better off this way 

Than be groping for the flame 

Than to be the way I am, I am
