A heartfelt and introspective song reflecting on the complexities of relationships and the struggles of taking advice from others. The narrator expresses a strong sense of independence and the importance of making one's own decisions, even amidst good intentions from loved ones.
Verse 1:
Listen, I know you mean well,
but I'm done believing in your tales.
You think you've got a hold on this,
but your grip just doesn't fit my bliss.
Chorus:
At the end of the day, it's me alone,
Living with the choices that I've grown.
No more advice thrown my way,
I've got to find my own way today.
Verse 2:
You’ve always got opinions lined,
but when it falls apart, who’s left behind?
Experience has made it clear,
you won’t be there to share my fear.
Chorus:
At the end of the day, it's me alone,
Living with the choices that I've grown.
No more advice thrown my way,
I've got to find my own way today.
Bridge:
I don’t mean to sound so proud,
But I’m ready to shout it out loud.
I appreciate your heart, it’s true,
but this time, I’m choosing what I want to do.
Chorus:
At the end of the day, it's me alone,
Living with the choices that I've grown.
No more advice thrown my way,
I've got to find my own way today.
Outro:
So thanks for the words you’ve shared,
but my path is mine, I’ve declared.
I’m trusting in the voice I hear,
as I step into this unknown frontier.

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.
