I'll Go On Alone Lyrics

We're travelin' down two different roads
In worlds, so far apart
You want me, yet there's somethin' else
Before me in your heart

You're wantin' me to change my life
The way you're livin' 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 nothin' we can do, it seems
We'll never get along
With you believin' 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 gotta 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 somethin' more than me
