[Chorus:]
This is my life, you can't dictate it...
I'm in control, I'm on and I'll make it...
Nobody can change me (Yeah)
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
[Verse 1:]
I know that by the time you read this letter, I'll be gone;
Far away from home...
Running away from all the pressures that I'm in,
They never gone;
They won't leave me alone...
(I don't know...)
Why or what I'm gonna do now...
It seems I'm moving too fast to slow down...
I want all the answers I need to find out... But how, how, how...
[Chorus:]
This is my life, You can't dictate it...
I'm in control, I'm on and I'll make it...
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... me... (ohh)} [x3]
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... }
[Verse 2:]
If I continue to let you push me around, I'm just a pawn;
Thoughts are not my own... (Whoa...)
You can't control me like a puppet on strings;
You're not Geppetto, but I'm not Pinocchio...
(I don't know...)
What or how I can make you see...
You're holding me back and I need to break free...
You're looking for perfect but all I can be, is me... me... me...
[Chorus:]
This is my life, You can't dictate it...
I'm in control, I'm on and I'll make it...
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... me... (ohh)} [x3]
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... }
[Bridge:]
So sorry to disappoint you for everything I am...
(Whoa...)
Cause I'm born to live up to your expectations...
(Yeah!)
[Chorus:]
This is my life, You can't dictate it...
I'm in control, I'm on and I'll make it...
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... me... (ohh)} [x3]
Nobody can change me... (Yeah)
{Nobody can change me... }
[Coda:]
I know that by the time you read this letter, I'll be gone...
