Lyrics
I've had enough of you telling me
what i can do and who i can see
always, say goodbye
everyday i get home from school
i know i'm gonna find the two of you
fighting, say goodbye
you don't have to live your life as me
you don't have to live your life as me
i'm getting tired of you telling me
that who i am's not who i'm supposed to be
always, say goodbye
i can't live with you another day
these are mistakes i'm gonna have to make
my way, say goodbye
cause you don't have to live your life as me
no you don't have to live your life as me
it's not that i'm angry
but how can you blame me
when there's nothing to save me
(goodbye my american daydream)
from losing my sanity
(goodbye my ride is waiting)
you don't have to live your life as me
you don't have to live your life as me
before i go i just wanna say
i don't know how you can stand to stay
anyway, say byebye
you don't have to live your life as me
you don't have to live your life as me
