Don’t Let Anyone Write Your Story Lyrics
We’ve all got a story to tell
But only you can write it well
For you’ve lived through it for real
Only you could know how you feel
You’ve lived through the pain and the glory
Don’t let anyone write your story
You’ve lived through the pain and the glory
Don’t let anyone write your story
When I come home from work when the day is done
I wanna spend the night with my loved one
For it’s lovin’ that makes the world go ‘round
You’re my Angel with both feet on the ground
You might live in a palace or in a dormitory
But don’t let anyone write your story
They try to tempt me with gold and jewels
But I won’t talk to these slithering fools
When I’m ready I’ll start to recall
And I’ll write about this man’s rise and fall
They might talk in rhymes or in allegories
But don’t let anyone write your story
They’ll appear so sincere but it’s just a front
They will twist your words and write what they want
No-one will listen when you try to deny
They will look blindly at truths fading eye
They chased and pursued her till she died
It wasn’t enough their paper chains of lies
It’s a crying shame no less
That she was killed by an overdose of press
You’ve lived through the pain and the glory
Don’t let anyone write your story
Trust yourself to tell what’s true
The only one that knows what’s true is you
So write your story before it’s too late
Before you arrive outside those pearly gates
You’ve lived through the pain and the glory
Don’t let anyone write your story
You’ve lived through the pain and the glory
Don’t let anyone write your story
