I'll miss you if you're no longer on my side
well that's o.k., i won't hold on to you
if you feel the need to cut me down to size
well all right, but i'm not here for you just to criticize
what i say, or how i live my life
is that o.k.? is that o.k. with you?
i sat alone while no one opened up their eyes
or cast a hand to save this drowning man
i understand, this one's really not my fight
so walk away, well i can't hardly blame you anymore
Chorus
this is how i want to live my life
this is how i want to live my life
is that o.k? is that o.k. with you?
Everybody wants to see me live a certain way
but i'm finding that's not possible and if only for a day
to have you walk a mile within my shoes and just see me for me
you'd find the answer, then you would know
Chorus
