IT'S MY LIFE

It's my life
so don't you try
to control it,
I'll live it my way
each and everyday.

You say that I should
do things your way,
well I say not today
not anyway.

It's my life
so leave me the hell alone,
I'll be glad when you're gone
right out of my life,
so I can live my life in peace.

You criticize everything I do
well to hell with you,
you really make me sick
you'd swear that I was thick,
you think that I don't know
how to live my life,
well it's my life
and I'll live it the way I see fit.


A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY

A bottle of whiskey
just to get me through the day,
to stop the shakes
just a bottle to settle my nerves.

A bottle of whiskey
everyday for the last four years,
to get me through all this pain
to stop these streaming tears.

A bottle of whiskey
everyday since you died,
everything was just a daze
at least the whiskey makes my eyes wide.

A bottle of whiskey
that's going to kill me someday,
nobody can get close to me
when I've got a bottle of whiskey.

THE DEATH OF A LOVER

I loved you so much
you were my dream girl,
I woke up every morning
with a smile,
thinking how beautiful you are
you had the voice of angels,
you were there whenever I needed you
but then you were gone,
I was to see you never more
I had lost my soul mate
my everything,
why did you have to die?
we were meant to be together forever,
so why did you die so young?
you were only 25
so why ain't you alive?
they have no reason
why you died last season,
so now I have to be alone
alone forever more.
