It amazes me how many of us live our lives as others think we should, often without even knowing it. The opinions around us flow so freely about how we should feel, and what we should do. These well meaning people never stop to consider just how selfish they are being by trying to inflict their own wishes on us, expecting us to play the puppet to satisfy their needs. Their own emptiness comes off as advice for us to live up to their expectations. As with anything else , you hear it often enough, you begin to believe it in your own right, and often miss out on real happiness without ever clearly seeing it wasn't YOUR idea to run from it to start with . Don't you ever just once want to tell these life helpers...
'You
can speak your mind... but not on MY time.
Go ahead with your own life and
leave ME alone !'

My Life
52nd Street
Released: 1980
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 you 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 you 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
