Sing My Life Away

Jordan A. Masters

This is not the way I planned it
I always thought I’d have more time
Everyone expecting so much from me
Driving me out of my mind

Who could tell me it would happen
Who decided this course of action
I didn’t see it, I couldn’t know
How the story was going to go

It was never about money
Never about fame
People in the front row
Calling my name
How could I know it
How could I prepare

Who knew that you’d be the one to say
Let’s sing your life away

Hurried goodbyes to my family
Signing my name for adoring fans
Never a break to go home and rest
Forced out in the spotlight with my band

There’s no denying my future
No denying my past
I’m the one who made this decision
I’m the one who said it would last

Now I know how it happened
I decided my own course of action
Oh and I saw it, and now I know
How my story is going to go

It was never about money
Never about fame
People in the front row
Calling my name
How could I know it
How could I prepare

Who knew that you’d be the one to say
Let’s sing your life away

And I know now
How I can make it
And I know why
I decided to become what I am
I look at you and I see my past
And I know why this has to last

It was never about money
Never about fame
People in the front row
Calling my name
How could I know it
How could I prepare

Who knew that you’d be the one to say

It was never about money
Never about fame
People in the front row
Calling my name
How could I know it
How could I prepare

Who knew that you’d be the one to say
Let’s sing your life away

Why did I have to be the one to say
For you to be happy someday
I’ll sing my life away
