I'm passing through this life
Not watching where I'm going
Haven't got a purpose
No quest or grand dream
Not even something simple
Like daydreams or love

You smile and think that I care
Hold out your hand
I slap it away and say

No, I'm not interested
Don't wanna think about it
If you wanna love me
Then that's fine
But if you want me to love you back...
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH

Because my life is my life
And my life is mine
I don't have to answer to anyone but me
Because my life is my life
And my life is mine
I know that I'm harsh
But I need to speak my mind
Because my life is mine

I've worked so hard to become what I am
I've come so far from the little girl I used to be
Pain and heartbreak are behind me now
Show me the respect I've earned
And leave me all alone

Please, I'm not curious
I don't care who or what you are
If you wanna know about me
Then that's fine
But if you want me to care about you...
DON'T WAIT AROUND

Because my life is my life
And my life is mine
I don't have to answer to anyone but me
Because my life is my life
And my life is mine
I don't mean to be cruel
But I have to make it known
That my life is mine
