I know you don't love me and you often say
You'd be better off without me in your way
Although you don't love me and it may be true
It's my life and you can't stop me loving you

It's my life, I must live it 'cause I'm living my life for you, just you
It's my heart, I can give it and I'm giving my heart to you, just you

Some day you may need me and perhaps you'll see
That life can be very lonely when you're free
You may find you've lost me, you'll be on your own
You may find out how you need me when I'm gone

It's your life you must live it, just as I once lived mine for you, just you
It's your heart you may give it when I have nothing left for you
