lyrics

This is not the way it was supposed to be
And this is not the way I became my own enemy
Well I lived the life of someone else
As if I were some kind of rolling stone
And I begged and stole and carried on
Until I'd found myself all alone

This is not the way it was gonna turn out
And this is not the thing my life was gonna be about
But I jerked around for so many years
Until I'd just plum run out of gas
And I'd burned down all my bridges
Till there were no bridges left for me to pass

I had the best deal in the world
And it stared me right there in the face
I had the best deal in the world
The kind that nothing can replace

It was the deal of a lifetime
The deal of a lifetime
It was the deal of a lifetime
Nothing better

This is not the way I thought it would end
And this is not the way that I would recommend
Well I took myself out to the brink
And then I went down that old slippery slope
Yeah I threw myself off of the edge
And realized that I'd run out of rope

This is not the life that I would have planned
And this is not the life living in this wasteland
Well I made me lot of stories
And I told myself that it would all work out
But looking back I can safely say
That I should've gone another route
