【Chorus】 It's my life, so let me live it Why do you care how I choose? My clothes, my words, the things I like You always have something to say You don't pay for my mistakes You don't carry what comes after So why are you drawing the lines On a life that's not yours? 【Verse 1】 "Maybe you should dress like this" "Maybe you shouldn't say it that way" "Don't you think you should be more..." More what? I never know Everyone has a better answer For a life they don't have to live I nod because it's easier Than explaining myself again 【Pre-Chorus】 I'm not hurting anybody I'm taking care of my own life I make my choices, good or bad So why does it bother you? 【Chorus】 It's my life, so let me live it Why do you care how I choose? My clothes, my words, the things I like You always have something to say You don't pay for my mistakes You don't carry what comes after So why are you drawing the lines On a life that's not yours? 【Verse 2】 I know I'm not like everyone Maybe that's what bothers you I like different things I make different choices But I'm not asking you to live them I'm not asking you to agree You can keep your perfect rules I'll keep mine to myself Sometimes I hear myself thinking Maybe they're right, maybe I'm wrong Then I get tired of wondering Why their opinion matters so much 【Pre-Chorus】 I'm not hurting anybody I'm taking care of my own life I make my choices, good or bad So why does it bother you? 【Bridge】 You won't be there when I regret it You won't fix it if I fail You won't live with every choice I make So maybe let me make them I know the world likes boxes It makes people easier to understand But I don't need another label For a life I'm already living 【Chorus】 It's my life, so let me live it Why do you care how I choose? My clothes, my words, the things I like You always have something to say You don't pay for my mistakes You don't carry what comes after So why are you drawing the lines On a life that's not yours? 【Outro】 You don't have to understand me You don't have to like my choices Just don't make them for me You'll go home with your own life I'll go home with mine And honestly... It's getting really annoying
