MY LIFE, MY RULES

Lyrics

[Intro – Immediate crunchy guitar riff and punchy drums] [Verse 1 – Male] Everyone’s got something to say Everybody thinks they know the way Got a list of my mistakes And a finger pointing at my face You can talk until you’re blue I’ve heard every word before I’m not taking your direction I don’t answer to you anymore [Pre-Chorus – Female] You think you’ve got me figured out But you don’t know a thing I’m done dancing to your tune I’m cutting every string [Chorus – Male & Female] My life, my rules I don’t play by yours My road, my way I don’t need your approval anymore Turn it up, let it roll You can’t take control My life, my rules And I won’t be told! [Verse 2 – Male] I’ve been good, I’ve played along Bit my tongue and played the part But there’s a limit to the patience And you’ve pushed it way too far You can keep your expectations Keep your rules, I’ve got my own I’ve got nothing left to prove And nothing left to lose [Pre-Chorus – Female] You can shake your head and judge me You can say I’ve lost my mind But I’m not here to make you happy I’ve got better things in mind [Chorus – Male & Female] My life, my rules I don’t play by yours My road, my way I don’t need your approval anymore Turn it up, let it roll You can’t take control My life, my rules And I won’t be told! [Bridge – Male & Female trading lines] Male: You don’t own the road I’m taking Female: You don’t get to call the shots Male: I won’t live to your expectations Female: I don’t care if you like it or not Together: No more asking, no more waiting No more bending just to fit You had your chance to have your say Now watch me do it my way! [Final Chorus – Full male and female vocals] My life, my rules I don’t play by yours My road, my way I don’t need your approval anymore Turn it up, let it roll You can’t take control My life, my rules And I won’t be told! My life! My rules! Nobody’s pulling my strings! My life! My rules! I’m doing my own damn thing! [Outro – Guitar riff and drums] My life… My rules!
