My Own Way Lyrics

When I was young I lived my life the way they say it's supposed to go

But as I got older I didn't wanna live like this anymore

Playing by the rules playing it safe no no that just ain't me

I had to look inside myself to find out how life's supposed to be

Happiness comes from within but loneliness slips its way right in

Feels like there's no escape somebody come save me from this pain

Rainy days come and go but the worlds heart stays the same

I don't wanna disappoint you but my life just needs a change

I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wanted me to be

I'm doing it my own way alone I stand

I'm not gonna live nobody else's dream but mine

I'm doing it my own way and I'm gon shine

It's hard to say how I how I really feel deep inside

I'm scared of the future

I don't want you to see it in my eyes

For life's precious moments makes it all worthwhile

Music gives me something to live for

Without it I'd much rather die

But I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wanted me to be

(Oohh) I'm doing it my own way alone I stand

I'm not gonna live nobody else's dream but mine

(Woah) I'm doing it my own way and I'm gon shine

Everything will get better that's easy to say

But I'm tired of feeling like there's no end to this pain

Changing for the better leaving the life I've always known

And I'm doing it on my own

On my own (Ooh)

But I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wanted me to be

(Oh yeah)

I'm doin it my own way alone I stand (Ooh yeah)

Cuz I'm not gonna live nobody else's dream but mine

(Mine)

I'm doin it my own way and I'm gon shine
