Billy Joel - mylife

오래된 친구가 연락을 해오지만 화자는 그들의 조언이나 걱정이 필요 없고, 지금의 삶에 만족하고 있다
타인의 기대나 의견에 얽매이지 않고 자신의 길을 가겠다는 결심을 표현하며, 독립적이고 자기주도적인 삶을 강조한다
결국, 각자의 삶을 살기를 바라는 메시지가 담겨 있다

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