Lyrics
What I?m All About
(Verse 1) Every day I think about life,
what I?m gonna do when I get some time.
In my head I go through scenes,
of things I wanna do and the man I wanna be.
Yesterday I thought about you.
I thought of what we had and the fact that we?re through.
But now it?s time for me to move on,
time to live my life while I am still young.
(Pre Chorus) What lies ahead,
cannot be said.
Cause I know my world is waiting,
now these tears are shed.
(Chorus) Time passes day by day,
and my past is far behind.
It?s time I live my life how I want to.
And now that we?re apart,
its time for me to start,
discovering what I am all about.
(Verse 2) Sometimes I wonder how,
how I?m gonna make it without you now.
I must admit that I?m a bit scared,
of how I?m gonna make it alone out there.
But I know I?ve gotta be strong,
my journey?s just begun and the road is long,
So now it?s time for me to move on,
time to live my life while I am still young.
(Bridge) I push the past behind.
Put what we had aside.
Cause I know my world is waiting,
there?s nothing left to decide.
