My Life Lyrics
[00:30.12] Got a call from an old friend, we used to be real close
[00:37.62] Said he couldn't go on the American way
[00:44.77] Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the West Coast
[00:52.16] Now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA
[00:57.66]
[01:10.54] I don't need you to worry for me, 'cause I'm alright
[01:17.97] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
[01:25.31] I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
[01:32.56] Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
[01:37.18] I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to)
[01:44.56] I never said I was a victim of circumstance (I never said)
[01:51.25] I still belong (still belong)
[01:54.83] Don't get me wrong (get me wrong)
[01:58.94] You can speak your mind, but not on my time
[02:05.70] They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
[02:13.08] Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
[02:20.34] Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
[02:27.69] Either way, it's okay, you wake up with yourself
[02:33.07]
[02:45.93] I don't need you to worry for me, 'cause I'm alright
[02:53.28] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
[03:00.61] I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
[03:07.96] Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
[03:12.65] I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to)
[03:20.06] I never said I was a victim of circumstance (of circumstance)
[03:26.72] I still belong (still belong)
[03:30.45] Don't get me wrong (get me wrong)
[03:34.33] You can speak your mind, but not on my time
[03:42.38]
[03:56.52] I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
[04:02.94] Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone
[04:10.00] (Keep it to yourself, it's my life)
