This is my life
You can't dictate it
I'm in control
I'm on and I'll make it
Nobody can change me (x2)

I know that by the time you read this letter, I'll be gone;
Far away from home
Running away from all the pressures that I'm in,
They never gone;
They won't leave me alone

(I don't know)
Why or what I'm gonna do now
It seems I'm moving too fast to slow down
I want all the answers I need to find out But how, how, how

This is my life
You can't dictate it
I'm in control
I'm on and I'll make it
Nobody can change me (x2)

If I continue to let you push me around, I'm just a pawn
Thoughts are not my own (whoa)
You can't control me like a puppet on strings
You're not Geppetto, but I'm not Pinocchio

(I don't know)
What or how I can make you see
You're holding me back and I need to break free
You're looking for perfect but all I can be, is me me me

This is my life
You can't dictate it
I'm in control
I'm on and I'll make it
Nobody can change me (x2)

So sorry to disappoint you for everything I am
(whoa)
Cause I'm born to live up to your expectations
(yeah!)

This is my life
You can't dictate it
I'm in control
I'm on and I'll make it
Nobody can change me (x2)

I know that by the time you read this letter, I'll be gone
