Try to tell me what I should or should not do
Don't you know that in the end, the result is I'm gone?
I'm no longer gonna live by your golden rule
All the compromises got me barely holding on

Now I'm gonna live my life
Showing you what I'm made of
Don't close your eyes till I'm gone

Walk away and don't turn around
Turn away without saying goodbye
I'm on my way, on my way

Crossed the line with all the ways you minced your words
Never understood compassionate humane ways
All you've ever known is you're the only one that's heard
There's a new answer for a brand new day

Now I'm gonna spend my life
Proving I was so right
Don't bow your head til I'm gone

Walk away and don't turn around
Turn away without saying goodbye
I'm on my way, on my way
