Its My Life

one day there'll be a girl on your television screen
a familiar face on the front page of your magazine
they'll say she never got the chance to chase her dreams, that she fell too far and faded too young
and you'll wonder why the last time you saw her was the last time

and that's the story ive been writing
the battle ive been fighting
that might be my smiling face frozen forever
on the screen
maybe not today but tomorrow that'll be my unlovely ending, when everything was just beginning
right now it's my life
and that's a photograph that just might be seen
just that way, exactly that way

you'll be surrounded by your friends and her family,
 but they won't be able to console you like she could
they'll tell you how it went down and you'll realize
that you spoke to her that last night, her final conversation,
and you'll wonder why the last goodbye was the last one

and that's the story ive been writing
the battle ive been fighting
that might be my smiling face frozen forever
on the screen
maybe not today but tomorrow that'll be my unlovely ending, when everything was just beginning
right now it's my life
and that's a photograph that just might be seen
just that way, exactly that way

It's the footage best forgotten, the film that should never be viewed
my secrets are my problem, and no one suspects a thing but you
would they stop me if they knew?
is there anything they would do to save me?
it's my life, is this how it ends?
would anyone wonder why or even care to cry?
it's my life.... but i dont want it anymore...
