This is my life,
You can't dictate it
I'm in control,
I'm on and
I'll make it
Nobody can change me [x2]
I know that by the time
you read this letter, I'll be gone,
Far away from home...
Running away from all the pressures that I'm in,
They never gone,
They won't leave me alone
(I don't know)
Why or what I'm gonna do now,
It seems I'm moving
too fast to slow down,
I want all the answers
I need to find out.. But how, how, how
This is my life,
You can't dictate it
I'm in control,
I'm on and
I'll make it
Nobody can change me [x2]
If I continue to let you
push me around, I'm just a pawn,
Thoughts are not my own... (whoa...)
You can't control me
like a puppet on strings,
You're not Geppetto,
but I'm not Pinocchio
(I don't know)
What or how I can make you see,
You're holding me back
and I need to break free,
You're looking for perfect
But all I can be, is me...me...me...
This is my life,
You can't dictate it
I'm in control,
I'm on and
I'll make it
Nobody can change me [x2]
So sorry to disappoint you
for everything I am (whoa...)
Cause I'm born to live up
to your expectations (yeah!)
This is my life,
You can't dictate it
I'm in control,
I'm on and
I'll make it
Nobody can change me [x2]
I know that by the time you read
This letter, I'll be gone...
