Verse 1 I don’t need permission I don’t need advice I’ve lived my life long enough To know my own mind You can talk if you want to You can guess what you please But what I choose for my life Is between me and me Chorus That’s between me and me Not your concern I’ve paid my dues I’ve lived and learned I don’t owe explanations I don’t need agreement What I love What I choose That’s between me and me Verse 2 I don’t answer to whispers I don’t bow to shame I don’t carry other people’s rules Or play their games If I stay, if I leave If I change my mind That decision’s mine alone Every time Chorus That’s between me and me I stand my ground I don’t need approval To move around You can judge from a distance But you don’t get a say What I do with my heart That’s between me and me Bridge Freedom doesn’t argue Freedom doesn’t beg It knows its own worth And keeps walking Verse 3 I don’t promise comfort I promise truth I don’t live my life To be understood by you If I love who I love If I choose my way I’ll live with my choices And that’s okay Final Chorus That’s between me and me I won’t apologize For living my life With my own spine You don’t have to like it You don’t have to agree What I do with my love That’s between me and me Outro I’ve earned my freedom I’ll keep it that way Between me and me Between me and me
