"It's My Life" as written by Richard S. Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi and Max Martin....
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't enough
You've got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't enough
You've got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

It helped me a lot, I had a time in my life when I just liked pleasing people.
This 'caused a lot of heartbreak, I got walked all over.
This song just makes me realise, I'm not weak.
I can say no, if I don't want to do something.
I think he covers a lot in this song
Love - don't give up if you think it's worth it, even if people doubt you.
Life - don't sit around & wait for shit to happen, get out there & do it for yourself.
I love how he uses Tommy & Gina in this, he's saying even when times were hard they never gave up, they stood there own ground, & it payed of in the end.
I also love the Sinatra line
'Like Frankie said I did it my way'
He's basically saying, like the song said
You have to live life your way, not how others want you to.
This is your 1 & only life, it isn't a rehersal
Do whatever the fuck makes you happy while your here!
Don't fit in, be original.
Really inspiring song :)
This song is more than amazing.
YOU'RE GONNA HEAR MY VOICE WHEN I SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah!!!!!!
Songs that relate to one another make them so much more "complete", since it's hard to tell a story in 4 minutes and 100 words. I wish more artists wrote songs that span 2 individual songs or more.
Amazing song,
Bon Jovi remains the best band in the world :)
