Yesterday, I set me free
Or is it that you walked out on me?
To plant a seed,  the truth it be
The hurt so that you won't or can't believe
Open your views if you cannot see
To see the eyes look beautifully
She took the car, but I hold the key
To have the affairs, this was for me

I used to say this is eternal love, no ending
I used to think this thing was real
And now I see that life
Is blinding my beginning
You say that you might be back
You're just a cheatin' heart

This had to be, to make you see
That the truth of truth is here to be
Cause I've lived of life, no more are we
You're just a slap back in the face
Even could see
And you took the car, but I hold the key
To love and happiness, that's just for me
You are the night, so feel the heat
You're just a slap back in the face
Even could see i'm living my life for me

(Living my life for me
I'm living my life for me
Living my life for me
I'm living my life for me)

The heart and soul is firing so tenderly
Now, don't believe everything you see
Flower faces don't mean much to me
When the heart's a thorn
It's the pain that be
So look inside everything you see (Uh, huh)
The truth's inside, look carefully
She took the car, but I hold the key
To happiness, that's meant for me

I used to say this is eternal love, no ending
I used to think this thing was real
And now I see the light
Has blinded my beginning
You said that you're my dear
You're just a cheatin' heart

This had to be, to make you see
That the truth, the truth is here to be
I'm living my life, no more are we
You're just a slap back in the face
Even could see i'm living my life for me

(Living my life for me
I'm living my life for me
Living my life for me
I'm living my life for me)

Don't rescue me, this had to be
This had to be, this had to be
This had to be, this had to be
This had to be, this had to be

Don't rescue me, don't rescue me
Don't rescue me, this had to be
This had to be, this had to be
This had to be, this had to be

To make you see
That the truth, the truth is here to be
I'm living my life, no more are we
You're just a slap back in the face
Even could see
You took the car, but I hold the key
To love and happiness, that's meant for me
You are the night, so feel the heat
You're just a slap back in the face
Even could see (Ow)

This had to be
It's the truth, it's the truth that we
This had to be
