Don't You Tell Me

You don't get the picture, you ain't got a clue
You all think you know me, this much is true
Then I sit in silence, alone by myself
Surrounded by strangers, going on my nerves
I try to not show what I feel, they take things for granted
I try not to let go, I'm standing tall for the show
And I smile, and it's alright

But please don't you tell me when my part is over
And please don't you tell me what I have to do
How could you dare to think, you know me better
You ain't got a clue, 'cause you don't walk in my shoes

You're working like crazy every day
Nobody sees it, but that's okay
You stand on your feed, you're living on a prayer
But the dream of You'll make it, somehow went astray
But what I can say, is that I've found my way
But what I can't take, is when you think you know me
What do you know?

So please don't you tell me when my part is over
And please don't you tell me what I have to do
How could you dare to think, you know me better
I don't need your answer, nor your advice
You don't live my life
You don't live my life

I don't need your answer, nor your advice
You don't fight the demons, that I have inside

So please don't you tell me when my part is over
And please don't you tell me what I have to do
How could you dare to think, you know me better
You don't walk in my shoes
'Cause you don't know, know me at all
Nobody knows, knows me at all
Ain't nobody
I don't need your answer, nor your advice
You don't live my life
Live my life
