Song Description

Story of a woman treated badly by her man - but she's finally leaving him and singing about how she's going to 'make it on [her] own' despite his threats or whatever. Very inspirational and empowering song.

Lyrics

(MY LIFE?S GONNA BE) ABOUT ME

© Musikal Vampness/Midnight Root Music

Seem like all I do is wait for you to feel like making time for me
And I won?t do it anymore
I won?t be second best, so this is your test
Oh hell no, on second thought.. it?s war!

I?ve stood behind you for too long
No more defending you, right or wrong

Cause I?m gonna make it on my own
Even though you say I?ll be all alone
I?m gonna be free
My life?s gonna be about me, about me, about me, about me, about me
My life?s gonna be about me

Now I don?t really wanna know how things have changed this time
You can tell that story til you?re blue
I?ve heard it all before, so get to the other side of my door
Cause I don?t care how much you swear it?s true

No more defending you right or wrong
Honey, this is your last song

Cause I?m gonna make it on my own
Even though you swear I?ll be all alone
I?m gonna be free
My life?s gonna be about me, about me, about me, about me, about me
My life?s gonna be about me

I don?t know how my world will go, but you ain?t burnin my soul no more
Trying to play around and put me down
Don?t even leave your shadow on my floor
Now there?ll be cold nights, I know, but I?m ?a work this freedom thing
And with all the drama and trouble and struggle it?s gonna bring

I?m still gonna make it on my own
Even though you say I?ll be all alone
I?m gonna be free
My life?s gonna be about me
My life?s gonna be about me
