My Own Life to Live

No need to conform to the desires of society
I'm not a dull sheep following the wants of the crowd
I live by my own terms and in my own life
I need no one to tell me what's wrong and what's right
My decisions are my own, I need no one to say
Which way I should go and what words I should say
I'm my own modest person in my own modest world
And no one can tell me what kind of person to be

I don't need your lectures or your petty excuses
I make my own decisions and I'm who I want to be
I won't let myself down by conforming to your life
I have my own life to live, I want my own life

I'm sick of magazines saying who I ought to be
Telling me how to dress and how to shape my body
Society shoves these perfect girls in our face
Making us think we all should look like they do
But deep inside I know they know nothing about life
They're just looking for ways to control the whole world
But me I choose to be who I want to be

I don't need your pressure to make my whole life
I make my own decisions about who I want to be
I won't let myself down by becoming your drone
I have my own life to live, I want my own life

Don't think that your burdens can draw me down your level
I'm not giving in to your ridiculous lies
I don't care if you can get the whole world to side with you
I'm staying who I am without you by my side

I have my own goals and dreams in my life
I don't need your gossip to take that away
I'm standing my ground as the person I am
I have my own life, my own life to live

I don't need your pressure to make my whole life
I make my own decisions about who I want to be
I won't let myself down by becoming your drone
I have my own life to live, I want my own life

I don't need your lectures or your petty excuses
I make my own decisions and I'm who I want to be
I won't let myself down by conforming to your life
I have my own life to live, I want my own life
