My Own Way
Navigating Life's Maze: My Own Way by The Rembrandts
Lyrics
You've got to learn how to leave me be, for us to ever get along
You must learn to give me space for us to coexist peacefully.
You've got to give me the kind of time it takes, to prove I'm right or wrong
I need the time to demonstrate whether I am right or wrong.
'Cause nobody knows what I had to go through-Maybe no one even cares
No one understands the challenges I faced, and perhaps no one cares.
But all the while as the clock was tickin', I've been holed up in my lair
While time was passing, I've been secluded in my hideaway.
Doin' things my own way....My own way
I'm choosing to do things according to my own preferences and principles.
You say I don't have a leg to stand on, so it's a good thing I've got two
Your criticism doesn't affect me because I have my own strengths.
But if I had only one leg to stand on, that's exactly what I'd do
Even if I had limited resources, I would stand firm in my beliefs.
No one can say there's a right or wrong way-Everyone's got their own advice
There's no universally right or wrong way; everyone gives advice based on their perspective.
Now am I back to where I started, after all I've sacrificed?
Despite the sacrifices, am I back to square one?
By doin' things my own way....My own way
I persist in doing things according to my own principles.
I gotta do things my own way
Reiterating the need to follow my own path.
Yeah....my own way
Emphasizing the commitment to doing things independently.
I've got these feelins' I'm tryin' to deal with, I'm not so sure you understand
Dealing with emotions that might be difficult for you to comprehend.
If I seem to be too preoccupied, to fit into your plans
If I seem distant, it's because I have my own concerns to address.
It's just that its one thing on top another-Now it's one too many high
Experiencing a buildup of challenges, one after another.
I wonder how many piles of things it takes, to bury me alive
Wondering how many difficulties it takes to overwhelm me completely.
I'm doin' things my own way...My own way
Continuing to assert independence in decision-making.
I gotta do things my own way.......My own way
Reaffirming the determination to follow a self-defined path.
Yeah I gotta do things my own way-My own way
Stressing the importance of doing things independently.
Gotta do things my own way-Yeh my own way
Underscoring the commitment to pursuing personal choices.
My own way-My own way
Repetition of the theme of doing things independently.
Oh yeah....it's just the way it is, baby
An acknowledgment that this is the way things are.
