I don’t really care what you say
I’m going to make it anyway
With or without you, mmkay?
I’m going to do this my way
I sat there with lonely nights
Waiting for you to wake up inside
I pushed myself to have no pride
But now I see the beauty in trying to hide
Away from the lies
And its no suprise
I created my own universe through a demise
To get through all this…
All thisinside
Because it’s all in my head
Woah
All in my head
My thoughts create reality
If I just get out of bed
And I keep trying to wake up the others
Sleeping in a fantasy
Because they deserve to know
What lies behind facing reality
I don’t understand what you say
I’m going to keep doing me each day
With or without you, mmkay?
I’m going to do this my way
I cried there with lonely days
Trying to figure out the maze
That was all inside
of you
Until I blew
my own mind in two
You started to be cruel
And still, you can’t see what is ahead of you
Is a tragic fate
Always chasing the superficial
Repeating mistakes
While calling me a fake
Hold on, let me grab the issues
Because I have to congratulate
You
For turning every issue you had
Into being about me too
When really there are just tools
All around you
All around you
So go call a few
Tell them you’re ready to be a fool
You fall for the ones who aren’t true
But sadly, they’re a reflection of who
You pretend to be.
simple in language but disarmingly clever..
Thank you! Language does not need to be complicated to convey emotions. Johnny Cash is one of the best song writers, yet his word choice is simplistic. Sometimes, less is more. 🙂
