Lyrics
[verse]
This ain't a rehearsal, this ain't a dry run
I've only got the one shot underneath this sun
I've heard the stories of the ones who played it safe
Stayed in the lines and disappeared without a trace
I'm not looking to be just another face in the crowd
I'm gonna live this out loud
[chorus]
It's my life, and I'm not waiting for permission
It's my life, I'm gonna live it my own way and my own mission
Like a rocket burning through the night sky
I'm gonna give it everything before I say goodbye
It's my life, and I won't back down
It's my life, gonna wear this crown
[verse]
They told me be reasonable, told me play it slow
But reasonable never lit a single fire I know
I'd rather burn out chasing something real
Than fade out quiet never having felt
So watch me take the wheel and drive
I'm not just existing, I'm alive
[chorus]
It's my life, and I'm not waiting for permission
It's my life, I'm gonna live it my own way and my own mission
Like a rocket burning through the night sky
I'm gonna give it everything before I say goodbye
It's my life, and I won't back down
It's my life, gonna wear this crown
[bridge]
This is for the ones who never gave up
Who filled their broken cup and drank it anyway
This is for the ones still fighting through
Whatever it is you're going through
[chorus]
It's my life, and I'm not waiting for permission
It's my life, I'm gonna live it my own way and my own mission
Like a rocket burning through the night sky
I'm gonna give it everything before I say goodbye
It's my life, and I won't back down
It's my life, gonna wear this crown
