Lyrics
MY OWN WAY
[Verse 1]
I’ve been standing on the outside
Looking through a broken frame
Seeing every scar I carry
Hearing echoes of my name
I spent years becoming someone
Everybody thought I should
Built a life from their expectations
And convinced myself it was good
But every time I face the mirror
There’s a stranger staring back
Someone buried underneath me
Someone slipping through the cracks
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been down
I’ve been used
I’ve been everything they choose
But there’s still a fire inside
And tonight I let it loose
[Chorus]
This is my life
These are my scars
I’ve walked through hell
To get this far
I won’t spend another day
Being what you want me to be
I’ve been outside looking in
Now I finally fucking see
This is my life
My mistakes
My heart to give
My choice to make
If tomorrow never comes
I’ll still stand here and say
I lived
I loved
I lost
But I did it my own way
[Verse 2]
I can see through all the faces
Through the promises and lies
I’ve been judged by perfect strangers
Who never looked behind my eyes
You can tell me that I’m broken
You can tell me I’m insane
But you never carried what I carried
You never walked beneath this rain
Every failure left a lesson
Every wound became a line
In the story that I’m writing
And the ending will be mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I fell down
I got bruised
Had my trust ripped and abused
But the man who walked into that fire
Ain’t the man standing here with you
[Chorus]
This is my life
These are my scars
I’ve walked through hell
To get this far
I won’t spend another day
Being what you want me to be
I’ve been outside looking in
Now I finally fucking see
This is my life
My mistakes
My heart to give
My choice to make
If tomorrow never comes
I’ll still stand here and say
I lived
I loved
I lost
But I did it my own way
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m angry
Maybe I’m tired
Maybe the dreams that I believed in
Got swallowed by the fire
Maybe I’ve wasted
More years than I can count
Trying to earn the love of people
Who only wanted me when I was down
Not anymore
You want the truth?
Then look at me
Every scar is proof
I survived what tried to bury me
I don’t need your forgiveness
I don’t need your sympathy
I’d rather die as who I am
Than live as who you want me to be
[Final Chorus]
THIS IS MY LIFE
THIS IS MY TIME
Every broken piece
Every fault is mine
I won’t spend another second
On my knees asking you please
I’ve been outside long enough
Now I know exactly what I need
This is my life
Let it burn
I paid for every lesson
And I finally fucking learned
If tomorrow never comes
There’s one thing I can say
I lived
I loved
I hurt
I healed
I gave
I lost
I stayed
And when the whole damn world
Tried telling me to change
I stood my ground
I found myself
And did it my own way
[Outro]
I’ve been standing on the outside
For most of my life
But looking in taught me one thing
The life I’m living
Is mine.
