My Life Lyrics - American Idol

Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close 

Said he couldn't go on the American way 

Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast 

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A. 

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright 

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home 

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life 

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone 

I never said you had to offer me a second chance 

I never said I was a victim of circumstance 

I still belong 

Don't get me wrong 

And you can speak your mind 

But not on my time 

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place 

Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else 

Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space 

Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
