Don’t you tell me what to say
Don’t you tell me what to do 
With my life 
I got it in my hands

I make it a different way 
I make myself understood
In the end 
I will be all right
And nothing’s gonna change that

I tried to cry
I tried it all
But I have to learn 
You’re gone
My only mistake 
Was feeling too safe
Now I have to learn 
You’re gone

The sun will burn me up
The sun will make me dry 
But I want more
Why can’t I end this love

The trust that I had for you
The trust that I had is gone
Can’t you see?
I am so cold inside
And nothing’s gonna change that

I tried to cry
I tried it all
But I have to learn 
You’re gone
My only mistake 
Was feeling too safe
Now I have to learn 

Life is getting darker 
Every night I feel so cold

When you’re gone
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
When you’re gone

(Don’t you tell me what to say)
(Don’t you tell me what to do)
(Don’t you tell me what to say)
(Don’t you tell me what to do)

I tried to cry
I tried it all
But I have to learn 
You’re gone
My only mistake 
Was feeling too safe
Now I have to learn 

Life is getting darker 
Every night I feel so cold
When you’re gone
When you’re gone…
