"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon


I said yes to the wrong guy
And now I’m on track to the worst day of my life
Suddenly I’m lookin’ back
Seeing what I did wrong
Sleeping on my bed of lies. 

I don’t need a man to tell me what to do
This is my song and I’m gonna own it.
Sing it loud, sing it proud, sing it right in his face
I’m walkin’ away, and I’m never
I’m never coming back.

I’m running from my future
Hiding from my past
It’s time to face the music
Gonna make it last
‘Cause I’m never going back
To the life I lived before.

Just a hollow shell of the person I could be
A ghost of the world around me.
Every road that I walk on
Has a thousand twists and turns.
But now that I know who I am
I can brave this path alone.

I tried to live a life that had no meaning
Tried to live a life that failed.
I tried to live a life that broke me in
Tried to live a life that crashed down on me.

Now I know
Now I know
Now I know what I did wrong.
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know that it’s my fault I let you in.

I’m running from my future
Hiding from my past
It’s time to face the music
Gonna make it last
‘Cause I’m never going back
To the life I lived before.
