I guess I live in a world you'll never get a glimpse inside of

If the thought of me selling out gets you excited

Do you think everything that nobody else has thought of

Do you feel everything that no one else can feel

I do too



Why don't you write your own song

If mine doesn't do it for you

You might get it all wrong

Or you might create the hit

You wish that I would write for you

'Cause I haven't been able to do what you need



And you're right there fighting for what I find appalling

Bringing me further down than I've already fallen

And you tell me that I only have one chance to win

And you only want to take me where I've never been

I'm with you



Why don't you write your own song

And I won't have to hear it

When you get it all wrong

I'll find a way to clear it

From my memory of you

You just do what you have to do

'Cause I'm not listening



Why don't you write your own song

If mine doesn't do it for you

You might get it all wrong

Or you might create the hit



Why don't you write your own song

I'll find a way to clear it

From my memory of you

You just do what you have to do

'Cause I'm not listening
