walkin' down the street singin' my own songs
payin' no attention to the signs on the walls
ingorin' all the people saying to turn around
i ain't gonna listen cause this is my sound
people always try to change my perspective
people always try to change my appearance
i don't want to be the way that they want me
i want to be the way that they dont
{chorus}
this is my way of life
this is my type of music
this is my story not yours
this is my fashion style
this is my secret file
this is my life not yours
step back, it's all me
my parents are talking but i can't hear a thing
something about keepin' my bedroom clean
i'm headin' out the door saying "going to my friend's"
i'll do what i want all the way to the end
people always try to change my ideas and thoughts
people always try to tell me what to do and not
i don't want to be the way that they want me
i want to be the way that they dont
this is my way of life
this is my type of music
this is my story not yours
this is my fashion style
this is my secret file
this is my life not yours
step back, it's all me
people always try to change my perspective
people always try to change my appearance
i don't want to be the way that they want me
i want to be the way that they dont
(this part is quieter)
this is my way of life
this is my type of music
this is my story, not yours
this is my fashion style
this is my secret fily
this is my life, not yours
{say the regular and the parentheses ones at the same time, ending on the same count as the other...}
this is my way of life
(people always try to change my ideas and thoughts)
this is my type of music
(people always try to tell me what to do and not)
this is my fashion style
(i don't want to be the way that they want me)
this is my secret file
(i want to be the way that they don't)
this is my fashion style
this is my secret file
this is my life, not yours
step back, it's all me
Author notes
this is a song that i REALLY like and so far, my longest as well. also, i'm pretty sure that this is the first song that actually relates to my life, so i'm happy that i wrote it.
