This Is Your Life Songtext / Lyric

You had it all arranged

How our life would be

Problem is, you never asked

Or consulted me



We'd share your life

Your loving man at home

Forgetting that I have a life

That I can call my own



You wrote the role

You'd have me play

But I'd have to be an actor

For it to work out that way



This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

And I'm getting out in time






You've had this house

And lived in it for years

Now you want me to give up my place

And move in with you here



But it has your stamp

A strong identity

No matter how much I love you

It'll never belong to me



The life you've planned

I could never take

And the sacrifice you ask is one

That you would never make.



This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

And I'm getting out in time



This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

This is your life, not mine

And I'm getting out in time
