I know what I have to do now
It's my life, one and only!

No matter how much I cry, my regrets all come back to haunt me
I’m not so naïve to think that simple days are up ahead
Follow my way!
And I’ll bear it all till I can’t take it
Follow my way!
Gotta set my sights on how to make it

Can’t be ordinary, I want all my dreams to come true
(I know what I have to do now)
So many pathways, and this is the one that I choose
‘Cause I know that it’s right for me!

Make my story!
I’m one of a kind, for the sake of this life that’s enough
Gonna make a promise, I know that I want this
I’ll fight until I make it to the top!
(Make my story!)
One day when our tears flow again, and we want to give up
I will be the light that we need to fight back
To turn it all around and never stop!

To everyone I ever met who never knew how much it hurt me
Criticizing everything I did to try to hold me back
Have it your way!
This bitterness all over again
Have it your way!
And still you just don’t understand
That I fail whenever I try to succeed
(I know what I have to do now)
Still on those days I can push past my limit and see
Every day seems to suck for me

Make my story!
I won’t say a word ‘cause I keep all these thoughts bottled up
‘Cause this sadness grates me and it suffocates me
I felt that just couldn’t trust myself!
(Make my story!)
I feel all my tears flowing out, I just want to give up
Waiting for the day that will show me the way and
I’ll finally know the reason I’m alive!

Watching and waiting, enduring this hate every day
I’m hoping the words they say are temporary
Thinking that maybe, within all these lives led astray
Is the answer that I’m searching for all by myself!

Make my story!
Deciding the moment to speak up, when the time is right
Is so terrifying, there’s just no denying
I know that I can’t do it by myself!
(Make my story!)
I’m one of a kind, for the sake of my life I will fight
What was in my heart all along from the start, no
It never left, it made me who I am!
I know what I have to do now
I know what I have to do now
