You're looking for a pot of gold
At the end of a rainbow colored black and blue
His unhappiness is his own doing
He should never take it out on you
You let yourself get used to it
Thinkin' it'll never change
But there is no point of no return
It doesn't have to be this way
This is your life
No one else can tell you how you're gonna live it
When it comes to love, it's your choice how you give it
When it's wrong sometimes you've gotta leave it
That is your right…and this is your life
You need a hand to hold onto
But not the hand that tries to hold you down
How can you spread your wings to fly
When you always walk on thin ice over shakey ground
You've tried to hide his whiskey, and bottle up your tears
But all this time that's passed you by
Won't give you back these years
This is your life
No one else can tell you how you're gonna live it
When it comes to love, it's your choice how you give it
When it's wrong sometimes you've gotta leave it
That is your right…and this is your life
He's torn your little world apart
Taken your pride, broken your heart
No bridges left for him to burn
No other cheek for you to turn
This is your life
No one else can tell you how you're gonna live it
When it comes to love, it's your choice how you give it
When it's wrong sometimes you've gotta leave it
That is your right…and this is your life
