Gotta Go My Own Way
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Effron Lyrics

I gotta say what's on my mind
I need to express my true feelings

Something about us doesn't seem right these days
There's a sense of disconnect between us lately

Life keeps getting in the way
External circumstances are constantly interfering

Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Our intentions always end up being disrupted

Is always rearranged
Leading to constant changes and adjustments

But I've gotta do what's best for me
I have to prioritize my own well-being

You'll be okay
You will be fine without me

I've got to move on and be who I am
I need to grow and be true to myself

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
I don't feel like I fit in this place, I hope you comprehend

We might find a place in this world someday
Perhaps we will discover our purpose and find our place eventually

But at least for now
But for the time being

I gotta go my own way
I have to pursue my own path

But I get my hopes up and I watch them fall every time
I constantly raise my expectations, only to witness them shatter repeatedly

Another color turns to gray
Another element loses its vibrancy

And it's just too hard to watch it all
And it becomes unbearable to witness it all

Slowly fade away
Gradually disappear from sight

'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
Because I must prioritize my own well-being

You'll be okay
You will be fine without me

What about everything we've been through?
What about all the experiences we shared?

What about trust?
What about the trust we had?

You know I never wanted to hurt you
You know I never intended to cause you pain

And what about me?
What about my feelings?

What am I supposed to do?
What should I do in this situation?

I gotta leave but I'll miss you, oh
I have to depart, but I will miss you deeply

So, I've got to move on and be who I am
Therefore, I must progress and be true to myself

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
I simply don't fit in here, I hope you comprehend

We might find a place in this world someday
Perhaps we will discover where we truly belong in the future

But at least for now
But for now

I gotta go my own way
I have to follow my own path

I gotta go my own way
I have to pursue my own path

I gotta go my own way
I have to pursue my own path

I gotta go my own way
I have to pursue my own path
