Lyrics
[Intro]
It's my life, I'm taking it back
It's my life, I'm taking it back
[Verse 1]
I've been in the dark for way too long
I haven't seen the light since I was young
Haven't felt aligned since I was one
I've finally come around, what have I done?
When I look inside my dreams I see
People always looking down on me
I'm feeling my inferiority
Hiding my pain from the world
I need to share, to share
I'm tired of fighting my past
And I swear, I swear
[Chorus]
It's my life, I'm taking it back
I've cried, buried it inside
For all of my years been fighting for my life
I swear, I swear
It's my life, I'm taking it back
And I've tried, I won't deny
I never knew why I fell so deep but I
I swear, I swear
It's my life, I'm taking it back
[Verse 2]
Even Hercules felt his lungs go weak
I'm breathing the dust on this ground I sleep
For all of the times that I've held my breath
I covered the truth till there was none left
'Cause I'm just man with my wants and needs
I struggle with hate in my heart and greed
But I feel a weight lifting off my chest
I'm telling my truth till I got none left
[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
I'm giving all that I have
'Cause I care, I care
For my life, I'm taking it back
I've cried, buried it inside
For all of my years been fighting for my life
I swear, I swear
It's my life, I'm taking it back
And I've tried, I won't deny
I never knew why I fell so deep but I
I swear, I swear
It's my life, I'm taking it back
[Bridge]
It's my life, I'm taking it back
It's my life I'm taking it back
[Chorus]
I've cried, buried it inside
For all of my years been fighting for my life
I swear, I swear
It's my life, I'm taking it back
And I've tried, I won't deny
I never knew why I fell so deep but I
I swear, I swear
It's my life I'm taking it back
[Outro]
I've been in the dark for way too long
It's my life, I'm taking it back
I haven't seen the light since I was young
It's my life, I'm taking it back
Haven't felt aligned since I was one
It's my life I'm taking it back
I'm 29 now, what have I done?
It's my life I'm taking it back
