I Live My Way Lyrics

Sometimes when I feel the anger
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Sometimes when I feel surrounded
Like all the doors are closed
I feel like I've been a prisoner
I feel like I've been a fool
Let people try to judge me
When they're not in my shoes

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change

Some people are only happy
When they can watch you fail
And to them every day is
Another coffin nail
I think that I've found the answer
I think that at last I know
We've only got one lifetime
So make your life your own

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change
To live my own way

I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change
To live my own way

I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say

I live my way
I live my way
I live my way
I live my way

Sometimes when I feel the anger
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Sometimes when I feel surrounded
Like all the doors are closed
I feel like I've been a prisoner
I feel like I've been a fool
Let people try to judge me
When they're not in my shoes

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change

Some people are only happy
When they can watch you fail
And to them every day is
Another coffin nail
I think that I've found the answer
I think that at last I know
We've only got one lifetime
So make your life your own

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change
To live my own way

I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say

I've lived on my knees
Trying to please
It's time to change
To live my own way

I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say
I live my way
Living for today
Don't care what they say

I live my way
I live my way
I live my way
I live my way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As IRON MIADEN (was this intentional? lol) said, it's about not wanting to conform to other people's ideals any more and living life how they want to. Actually I think the song should have been included on the album and is a great mood lifter.
