Lyrics
Verse1
Spent my life trying to be where you are, with no identity of my own. Sometimes life can be so cold I've learned to face it all alone. So sorry I can't be who you are, don't care about your perception. Sometimes it can be so hard to follow my own direction.
Chorus
This is my life, I'm going to be who I want to be, it just ain't right the way they criticize and try to change me
Spent all my life trying to make you so happy, hope you realize this is my life
Verse 2
There's no way to live through you, I've got learn how to be true. I'm still the same even when you change, without me there's no other way. So sorry I can't be who you are, can't live by your expectations. Not going to push myself to far, don't have to give an explanation.
Chorus
This is my life, I'm going to be who I want to be, it just ain't right the way they criticize and try to change me
Spent all my life trying to make you so happy, hope you realize this is my life
Bridge
I just want to believe it's okay to be who you are, ooh
I can't be who you are I can't push myself too far, ooh
