Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn´t go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don´t need you to worry for me cause I´m alright
I don´t want you to tell me it´s time to come home
I don´t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don´t get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can´t sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they´ll tell you you can´t sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it´s okay
You wake up with yourself

I don´t need you to worry for me cause I´m alright
I don´t want you to tell me it´s time to come home
I don´t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don´t get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don´t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
