My Life

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn`t go on
the American way
Closed the shop sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand up
routine in L A

I don`t need you to worry for me
cause I`m alright
I don`t want you to tell me
it`s time to come home
I don`t care
what you say anymore
this is my life
Go ahead with your own life
and leave me alone
I never said you had to
offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim
of circumstance
I still belong
don`t get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you
you can`t sleep alone
in a strange place
Then they`ll tell you
you can`t sleep
with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you
sleep in your own space
Either way it`s okay
you wake up with yourself

I don`t need you to worry for me
cause I`m alright
I don`t want you to tell me
it`s time to come home
I don`t care
what you say anymore
this is my life
Go ahead with your own life
and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer
me a second chance
I never said
I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong
don`t get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don`t care
what you say anymore
this is my life
Go ahead with your own life
and leave me alone
