Lyrics
Some people want the quiet life
some people want it all
Everyone's just trying to live their lives
keep the wolf from the door
you didn't play by those rules
You did it your own way
After losing you... I found something new in myself
After losing you, I've found out how I really felt
After losing you, I've found a new world
Some people wish their lives away
Some have their head up in the clouds
Some people break their promises
Always seem to let you down
you didn't play by those rules
You did it your own way
After losing you... I found something new in myself
After losing you, I've found out how I really felt.
After losing you, I've found a new world.
I won't waste... my time... waiting for the world to change
I'll follow... your line.... and do it my own way
