An Authentic Life Redux

Hook

La Da Da, La La La etc

 

Verse 1

Trying to live an Authentic Life

There’s a pain I know.

I can’t be everything you want

You’re letting go

Letting me go

I don’t know how to fight for things that cannot be

I am scared and alone

Cause I wanted to be the one

That you love . . .

 

Hook

La Da Da, La La La etc

 

Verse 2

When you said, “I love you, more than you’ll ever know”,

Skipped a beat

I wanted to believe

But understood, we’re friends nothing more.

The girl who asks for little ends up second best

4am stolen moments

I see a pattern I have lived before

No! I want more . . .

 

Bridge

If I could ever let you go

I know I would have to breathe

Alone without you here beside me.

If I could accept the roles we chose

I know I would have to see

That you and I could never be

That this could never be   (2x)

 

Hook

La Da Da, La La La etc

 

Verse 3

Trying to live an Authentic Life

Will not spare my soul

Of desire, of ego or of pride

Here I am, flawed, but so . . .

Open to everything the guilt that buried me

Slips away from my shoulders

I’m free, permission to be alone

I am home
