[Verse 1: Richard Patrick]
I got greed, it's got me
I got freeze, it's on me
I can't breathe, I can't see
I just bleed, I just be

[Pre-Chorus:]
I can't see straight, I can't be straight
I just want a life of my own
I can't live hate, I just won't hate
I just want a life of my own

Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)
Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)
Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)

[Chorus:]
(You) you walk away from me
(You) you walk away from me

[Verse 2:]
My soul leaves, my soul breathes
My heart aches, the ground shakes
You can't beat it, you can't feed it

[Pre-Chorus:]
I can't see straight, I can't be straight
I just want a life of my own
I can't live hate, I just won't hate
I just want a life of my own
Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)
Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)
Yeah, (I just want a life of my own)

[Chorus:]
(You) you walk away from me
(You) you walk away from me

[Bridge:]
Yeah
(I just want a life of my own)
(I just want a life of my own)

[Chorus:]
(You) you walk away from me
(You) you walk away from me
(You) you walk away from me
