[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
