Billy Joel - my life

주인공은 오래된 친구와의 대화를 통해 과거의 친밀함과 지금의 독립적인 삶을 대비한다
그는 더 이상 타인의 의견이나 간섭에 신경 쓰고 싶지 않으며, 자신의 삶에 대한 주체성을 강조한다
결국, 그는 자신이 원하는 대로 살고 싶고, 상대방에게도 자신의 길을 가라고 이야기한다

Got a call from an old friend
We 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 alright
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 you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong, don`t get me wrong
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
You can`t sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it`s okay to wake up with yourself

I don`t need you to worry for me cause I`m alright
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 you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of cirumstance)
I still belong, don`t get me wrong
You can speak your mind
But not on my time

I don`t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

(Keep it to yourself, it`s my life)
(Keep it to yourself, it`s my life)
(Keep it to yourself, it`s my life)
