Me, By Me

Quietly looking back

(hmmmmm) Now I'm looking forward

Used to spend my days chasing every trend

Trying to be the one on whom they could depend

But the noise got loud and the focus slipped away

No more living life just to hear what they will say

I'm shutting out the static on the line

(turning it down)

Taking back what's mine

From now on it is just me

Doing things for myself,

finally free

Stop listening to what

they want me to be

I'm chasing my goals,

my hopes, my dream

(yeah, my dream)

I spent too many hours caring what they thought

Buying into systems that can't ever be bought

Now I draw the line,

yeah I'm locking the gate

I'm the master of my own agenda and my fate

I'm shutting out the static

on the line (turning it down)

Taking back what's mine

From now on it is just me

Doing things for myself,

finally free

Stop listening to what

they want me to be

I'm chasing my goals,

my hopes, my dream

(yeah, my dream)

No more compromises, no more wasted tears

I'm leaving behind all of those crowded fears Only listening to the

voice deep inside (inside) Nowhere left to hide

Just me,

my goals

My hopes,

my dreams

(just me,

just me)
