My Own Damn Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everybody’s got an opinion Like I asked them what to do My friends say, “Maybe think about it” Yeah, that’s never worked for me, have you? I make plans and then I cancel Change my mind about a hundred times If you think you’ve got me figured out Congratulations, you wasted your time [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m a little difficult Maybe I don’t give a shit But I spent my whole life trying To make everybody else happy And I’m over it [Chorus] I’m gonna do it my own damn way My own damn way If I fall, I’ll take it I don’t need no saving My own damn way My own damn way Say what you want, baby I’m still gonna stay me [Verse 2] You can keep your little checklist All your “shoulds” and all your rules I’ve been folding up my edges Trying hard to fit your mold for school Now I’m sick of saying sorry For the way I like to be If it looks a little messy At least it finally looks like me [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m a little hard to read Maybe I don’t play nice But I spent too long bending Now I’m done with that tonight I’m done being polite [Chorus] I’m gonna do it my own damn way My own damn way If I fall, I’ll take it I don’t need no saving My own damn way My own damn way Say what you want, baby I’m still gonna stay me [Bridge] If I break, let me break If I glow, let me glow I’m not here to be your answer I’m just here to let it show Take your hands off the wheel Watch me turn and burn I’ve been learning on my own Now it’s my turn [Final Chorus] I’m gonna do it my own damn way My own damn way If I fall, I’ll take it I don’t need no saving My own damn way My own damn way Say what you want, baby I’m still gonna stay me I’m gonna do it my own damn way My own damn way Yeah, I’ll make the mess And I’ll wear it like a crown My own damn way My own damn way I’m not backing down
