Don't Need Your Approval Lyrics

Verse1

People tell me that I'm crazy

That I should give up

Stay inside the lines

Because life is tough

People say to have a good life

You gotta find love

Raise a good family

And praise God above

Pre Chorus:

For a while I was convinced

I conformed to their wishes

But my life was not my own

I just wish I would have known

Chorus:

That I don't need approval on how to live my life

And I want to be happy, not controlled by time

So go ahead define me by race or job or years

But I won't be affected, I will save my tears

Because I-y-y-I don't need your approval

Verse 2:

I know you are well-meaning

Speak what you know

Comfort isn't living

Gotta free your soul

What happened to all the leaders

The ones who stand out

Speak their minds

Go against the crowd

Pre Chrous:

When did we become so fearful

To be individuals (yeah yeah)

Well, I am not convinced

That normal is better than different

Chorus:

Repeat

Bridge:

Don't wanna hold back what I wanna say when I feel it,

I don't wanna make decisions based on what society wants me to be

When I look back on my life, I just wanna see that I

Loved and lived a life that was right for me.

Repeat Chorus
