You want to shoot me down again
Why did I steal your croud?
I never knew you could be so vain

Don't you know
I'm on my feet again
See, it didn't take too long

Time has a funny way of healing

Don't run my life

Don't tell me what to play
Don't run my life
Don't tell me what to say


It was hell living on the outside
But it did me good

So, it's over now, here's your big surprise

Don't run my life

Don't tell me what to play
Don't run my life
Don't tell me what to say


At 'Soldiers and Sailors' we all knew,
Busted fingers meant for you

A broken hand
I've got a broken heart
It wasn't the pressure

That tore me apart, it was you

Only you


No, you'll never shoot me down again
Looks like the table's turned

Time has a funny way of healing
I'm not sure of what's in store for me
Hope, I'll dream, I guess

So for now I wish you well
But not the best


Don't run my life
Don't tell me what to play
Don't run my life

Don't tell me what to say
(Tell me what to say)


(Repeat chorus and fade)
