You never should have tried it.
You should have known.
You can’t lead me, I won’t follow.
The only rules I know are my own.
I’ll take this course alone.

There isn’t anything you can do.
Nothing left that you can say.
What’s done is done, it’s too late.
And this is the price you’ll have to pay.
Watch my back as I walk away.

I’m not empty anymore.
So do not tell me what to do.
It’s done and over, now I’m leaving.
Who I am is my absolute truth.
And I’m not going to change for you.

I will not be who you want me to be.
So let me be what I decide.
The years have passed, and nothing lasts.
And I know what I am inside.
I will no longer hide.

I’ve found what I’ve been looking for.
Not from laws divine.
But by my strength, and by my heart.
And sooner or later things will be fine.
Because I’m holding on to truth.
And keeping what is mine.
