This powerful song explores the theme of self-empowerment and the importance of trusting one's own judgment over the advice of others. It encapsulates the struggle of feeling overwhelmed by external opinions while emphasizing the need to take control of one’s own life decisions.
Verse 1:
I appreciate your words, I know you mean well,
But it's time for me to break out of this shell.
I've heard your advice, but I need to be free,
It's my life to live, let me just be me.
Chorus:
Listen, it's my turn to decide,
I’m done letting others be my guide.
Every choice I make, I gotta feel it inside,
So listen, I'm stepping aside.
Verse 2:
Your plans seem perfect, they shine like a star,
But deep down inside, I know who you are.
You speak from your heart, but it’s not my song,
In this tangled mess, I gotta be strong.
Chorus:
Listen, it's my turn to decide,
I’m done letting others be my guide.
Every choice I make, I gotta feel it inside,
So listen, I’m stepping aside.
Bridge:
I don’t mean to sound like I’m shutting you out,
But I’ve learned from the pain and it’s time to shout.
I appreciate love, but I’m taking my stand,
This life is my canvas, my heart in my hand.
Chorus:
Listen, it's my turn to decide,
I’m done letting others be my guide.
Every choice I make, I gotta feel it inside,
So listen, I’m stepping aside.
Outro:
So thank you for caring, but now you must see,
This journey is mine, I’ll make it, just me.
I’m ready for the fall, the rise, and the glide,
So listen, I’m moving with pride.

Listen. I know you mean well, but I'm done believing that you have got a better grasp on the situation or are otherwise any better equipped to make decisions about what we're doing than I do, and at the end of the day it's me that has to live with my decisions - not you. You've always got so much advice to throw at me, but if things go south, experience has proven that you're not going to be there to do anything to help me out of a sticky situation that listening to you might cause me. I earnestly don't mean to sound stubborn here, because I do appreciate that you mean well, but I will promptly be disregarding everything you've told me to do here.
