It’s My Life I’m Taking It Back Songtext
von Arrested Youth

(It′s my life I'm taking it back)
(It′s my life I'm taking it back)
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
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
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 'til there was none left
Cuz 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 'til I got none left
I swear, I swear
I′m giving all that I have
Cuz 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
(It's my life I′m taking it back)
(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
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)
