A Life You Don’t Own (Lyrics)

I’m trying to find my way
In an ocean of endless escapes
Yet I feel I’m losing my place 
In reality

I want my friend’s to say
That everything will be ok
Yet my generation has all their faith
In Playstations, dream nations

Hold on, what is this we’ve become
A fool’s play to mold as they want
Step up show your identity
Lose those who think you’re crazy

I’ve had enough keepin’ score
There’s no competition with my soul
Oh you know you got to be who you want to be
‘cause I can promise you if you don’t
You’ll be left with a life you don’t own

Left with a life you don’t own

No time to listen to the media bore
God knows we’ve heard it all before
Who said I had to follow the mass
Just so I could speak my mind, have a chance

I’ve had enough keepin’ score
There’s no competition with my soul
Oh you know you got to be who you want to be
‘cause I can promise you if you don’t
You’ll be left with a life 

I’ve had enough keepin’ score
There’s no competition with my soul
Oh you know you got to be who you want to be
‘cause I can promise you if you don’t
You’ll be left with a life you don’t own

Left with a life you don’t own, you don’t own
Left with a life you don’t own

Do You Remember Me

Heartbreak relationship song, the push and pull. The ones we choose to be with define the life we lead.
