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
