[Verse 1: Jarod Glawe]
I was born in shoes I didn't wanna wear
Didn't try to change em cause I didn't know what else was there
Moms told me that sometimes life just isn't fair
So I lied and told myself I didn't care
But I did, and I grew
Spread my wings, and I flew
As time went on I decided to wear them different shoes
Now I look outsiiide n it still looks kinda bleak
Seven days in a week
Just to waste em trynna be on fleek
[Chorus x2]
This is my life
But I don't wanna live it
You say you're real but uh dunno what is or isn't
If this is all there is then why don't we try to truly live it:
Life?
Why don't we truly live life?
[Verse 2: Jarod Glawe]
Whatcha know about high expectations?
Livin' up to them like I gotta beat the whole nation
And that's a pretty easy way to lose all motivation
Which I did but that's a different conversation
And if all you think you hear is a lotta complainin'
Maybe you're right, but I swear I'm not insane I know what I'm sayin'
And I don't care about anyone who's hatin'
They ain't gonna stop the dream I'm livin'
From me, that will never get taken
[Refrain]
Silent
My life
My life
My life
[Verse 3: Jarod Glawe]
I just really wanna do me without restriction
But right now a life like that, would just be truly fiction
Yet I still live like I'm on some sorta man-made mission
This is the start of somethin' great - I got that inhibition
And at the end of a path that I refused to take
And if this is a dream, then I don't really wanna ever wake
And I'm doin' things others - they could never make
'Cause I'm dreamin' things that most - they wouldn't ever think
[Chorus x2]
This is my life
But I don't wanna live it
You say you're real but uh dunno what is or isn't
If this is all there is then why don't we try to truly live it:
Life?
Why don't we truly live life?
[Bridge: Jarod Glawe]
Last verse before I dip out
I hope I don't flip out
Sometimes I wonder if you can hear me, should I shout?
I made this song to let my emotions out, not to pout
And I dunno how many people will hear it
Especially by word of mouth
I live my life is constant confusion
I dunno what's real or an illusion
Wish I could find some sort of fusion
I can't sleep but when I do I just dream lucid
Lately battles with anxiety I'vw been losin'
And now I'm overthinking and the songs done done done
