Lyrics

This Is Not Your Life

[Verse 1]

I don't understand you

The way you disappear

You don't understand me

The way I keep us here

[Chorus]

This is not your life

I know how to do it on my own

This is not your life

[Verse 2]

We were only children

But you knew the game

And you were busy feeling

That someone had to take the blame

But I know how you're really

When no one's around

We were only children

Looking to be found

[Chorus]

This is not your life

I know how to do it on my own

This is not your life

This is not your life

I know how to do it on my own

This is not your life

[Bridge]

Even after the fall

No one ever seemed to care

And now you come back to call

And you want me to be here

[Chorus]

I know how to do it on my own

This is not your life

I know how to do it on my own

This is not your life

And I know how to do it on my own

And this is not your life

I know how to do it on my own

And this is not your life
