I may be childish, but maturity's not really fashionable anymore

The consequences of all past mistakes
They're still causing so many headaches
Can't learn from my bruises
My balance still tends towards bad choices, yeah!

This life is mine [2x]
It's up to me

Even though I grow more older, surely I won't be more mature
This sudden feeling's growing up, for sure I will not make it stop
No one ever said it'd be that easy
Took some time, but I have come to learn that-

This life is mine [2x]
It's up to me
To make my own mistakes again
So don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't ever tell me there's no way to break free

And now with each and every minute that goes by
You try and try and try
(Keep on signing, keep on signing)
Every single time you're falling down on your ass'
The occasion to get up, get up, get up, get up
Why look back and sit on your past,
Better look ahead to see the better days to come
(Better days to come)

This life is mine [2x]
It's up to me
To make my own mistakes again
So don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't ever tell me there's no way to break
There's no way to break free
