Lyrics

It?s always been your show that I?ve played in
Always been your rules
Never to break or bend

But I,
Don?t see why it can?t sometimes go my way
Never has been that act
Never to see that day


And I know that it?s hard to be in your position
And I know, it?s going to be tough when I say ?Goodbye? to you

Just try to understand it
Just try to comprehend it
Just try
Just try not to be yourself

This house has never sang a different song
No amendments here
Covenant gone wrong

I would like to add my own decree to the house
No second thoughts
Can?t turn back now


[Chours]

Bridge:

So it?s been about seventeen years
Sitting back and listening to all your fears
About me
What I?ll be
I can make my own decisions
I can write my own constellations
About Me
What I?ll be
I can be myself
