Gotta Go My Own Way
Troy Lyrics

Listen

I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Is always rearranged

It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way (own way)

Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up and I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to gray
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away

I'm leavin' today
'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my way

What about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to hurt you

And what about me?
What am I supposed to do?
I gotta leave but I'll miss you, oh

So, I've got to move on and be who I am (why do you have to go?)
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand (I'm trying to understand)
We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now (I want you to stay)
I wanna go my own way

I've got to move on and be who I am (what about us?)
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand (I'm trying to understand)
We might find a place in this world someday (world someday)
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way




I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way

It's so hard to say
But I gotta do what's best for me

(Own way)
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to gray
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today
'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find a place in this world someday

We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
