And all these days i spend away
Ill make up for this i swear
I need your love to hold me up
When its all too much to bear

And when the night falls in around me
I dont think ill make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

If this keeps me away much longer
I dont know what i will do
Youve got to understand its a hard life
That im going through

This life is mine and I am my own

The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine i'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down

She said 'Boy i'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'
He said 'Mom im tired and im living my life the best way that I can'

I don't know how I can face this pain
I'll keep it inside so you can't see
I don't think I can go on this way, 'cause it's not me

Nevermind the face that you put on
In front of me
And nevermind the pain
You've put me ..through

Don’t make the same mistakes you did all over
You’ve got to believe in yourself this time
