[Verse 1]
I'm not trying to pretend
I'm not one for giving in
To do anything just to be your friend
Whatever you expect from me
Think about it carefully
Before this relationship begins
Should I kiss? Should I tell?
Should I act like someone else?
Is it safe to be myself?
[Chorus]
All these things are constantly
Knocking at my window, oh-oh
In a crowd of choices
It's obvious to me
The moral of the story is
That I make my own reality
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm not trying to be cool
Or telling you what you should do
You gotta find out just for yourself
I only know what's right for me
The promises I want to keep
But every day it's something else
Should I drink? Should I smoke?
Should I lie so I can go to the party down the road?
[Chorus (2x)]
All these things are constantly
Knocking at my window, oh-oh
In a crowd of choices
It's obvious to me
The moral of the story is
That I make my own reality
[Bridge]
Nobody else can live my life
It's my decision
Nobody else can tell me
If I fit in, if I belong
If I look good enough
And the list goes on and on, and on and on, and on
[Chorus (2x)]
All these things are constantly
Knocking at my window, oh-oh
In a crowd of choices
It's obvious to me
The moral of the story is
That I make my own reality
