My Life To Live
Long days,
 Of going out of my way,
 To make others feel happy.
 Others that make my life hell,
 Others that say “oh well” when I run off crying.
 They wanna control my life,
 Cuz they’re already screwed up their own.
 
 Chorus:
 I’m gonna love who I want,
 I’m gonna be who I wanna be,
 But days of going home crying,
 Is not what I wanna see,
 Not what I wanna see when I look back on all my
 Memories.
 
 They say they’re my friends, but really,
 They’re breaking down my ego like enemies.
 Friend or foe?
 I don’t know.
 But I ain’t gonna take anymore.
 
 Chorus:
 I’m gonna love who I want,
 I’m gonna be who I wanna be,
 But days of going home crying,
 Is not what I wanna see,
 Not what I wanna see when I look back on all my
 Memories.
 
 I walk into my house,
 Hoping for a little sympathy,
 But all I get is a bunch of demands,
 Flung in my face so fast 
 I can’t comprehend. 
 Accusations find their way into,
 The stream of my things to do.
 
 They say they love me,
 They say they care,
 But what I can’t see,
 Is what I’m doing here.
 What am I doing here,
 If they’re gonna run my life??
 I need my own life to live.
 
 Fighting through this rough time,
 That everyone says will end,
 And finally I realize,
 This is my life to live.
