Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

Oh, and life got hard again

I don't know how to stand

Lessons like bullets

In the ground, no moving

Time to stand up again

It's time to be the man

The man I never had in my life, that's clear now

Endless nights alone

Drowning in the flow

Hurricanes and storms

Linger in my soul

With destruction came the loss of my control

Drugs and alcohol

"Tequila, daddy!" he shouted from the balcony

And she wouldn't stop, it was a deadly vice

A princess's heart trapped in a drawer

An angel disguised as a demon out of fear

Of a reality that held no value when sober

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

And my soul fades away

Drowning in the truth

Salty tears

Hurt more in the wound

I try to save myself

It comes without knocking

Insecurity disguised as a beast

And I wonder if my heart will drop

Broken pieces might just be enough

I gotta be myself, I gotta stop

But how to be yourself when you were never loved

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to the same

Back to all

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

It's time to be the man

The man I never had in my life, that's clear now

Endless nights alone

Drowning in the flow

Hurricanes and storms

Linger in my soul

With destruction came the loss of my control

Substance y alcohol

Tequila papi gritaba desde el balcón

Y ella no paraba, era un vicio matador

Corazón de princesa atrapado en un cajón

Ángel disfrazado de demonio por temor

A la realidad que sobria no le veía valor

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

Y mi alma se va

Ahogando en la verdad

Lagrimas de sal

En la herida duelen mas

Me trato de salvar

Viene sin llamar

Inseguridad disfrazada de animal

And I wonder if my heart will drop

Broken pieces might just be enough

I gotta be myself, I gotta stop

But how to be yourself when you were never loved

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame

Back to all

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to bad habits, to acting the same

Back to my ways

Back to my ways

Back to old choices that'll put me to shame
