The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
We're traveling down two different roads In worlds so far apart You want me yet there's something else Before me in your heart You're wanting me to change my life The way you're living yours But I can't change, I see no way You wanted me before If you don't want me like I am Then please don't pity me If you can't change a little bit Then why not set me free If we can't live together then It's best we live apart You go your way and I'll go mine We'll both make brand new starts There's nothing we can do it seems We'll never get along With you believing like you do You say I live so wrong But I can't change my way of life I've lived it much too long You'll either take me like I am Or I'll go on alone So either say you want my love Or take the way you live Remember though before you get You've got to learn to give So if it's change my life or go Then go it's gonna be Cause I can't change my life when you Want something more than me
