Lyrics
Meant To Be My Own
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I always thought the world revolved around me,
and every word I said was listened to
how could you underestimate my promise
how could you really ever doubt my truth
[Chorus]
first to take it
last to give in
step aside
do you think i'm playing?
believe this world was meant to be own
go for broke
stop for nothing
move along
did you hear what i said?
believe this world was meant to be own
you know parents they raised me to be happy
they always gave me everything i craved
they never let the ugly things affect me
they always made the bad things go away
