I'M Living My Own Life
Tell me you want me to go
But you can't do that, can you?
You just want me back now, don't you?
Just to hold me in your arms like
Everything's the way it was before
You just want me back with you
To be back in bed with you
You want to hold me down some more
And just pretend it's all ok
Like we don't know each other's problems anymore.
But I told you I have to move on, okay?
So I'm moving at my own pace now
And I'm holding my head high now
And I choose to just let you walk on by,
If only you would
You have to see me in the past and not in your future
You act like it hurts but I know it doesn't
It's been too long I've been hearing you say the same things
So you need to let me just walk by now
You need to move on and let me live my life
We won't be sharing the bed anymore
Those secrets are lost forever
You can't go back, you can't change what's done
You can't see my heart, you can't hear my soul
You can only look at my eyes and see the truth
And know that they show I'm moving on
Now you are calling me back
And I know you want me to share your bed
And share the secrets we whispered in the dark
Beneath the sheets of love and sin
