I was down in the depth of hell No one really understood what I felt I could not draw breath, could hardly tell What the hell was going on back then
All my feelings fighting inside I was crawling down in my hell I just could not lose, could not hide What I used to tell you all back then
I did it my way When I fell back down, you know I did it too I did it my way I don't want to play the waiting game to lose
What you've learned in the last 10 years It's another story of your life 'Cause of pain in your heart, you shed some tears You tried to make it be all right
I remember the day you were gone You were the best and the brightest of all I was trying so hard, cause I was told The message was "Stay Gold"
"How have you been, man?" "I've been fine" "Wasn't it hard?" "Yeah, but I got over it" "Do you remember what I said?" "How can I forget? I won't forget"
I did it my way And you know I'll do it my way Do it your way Do the things you want to do now Now I'm stepping to the world unknown This time not alone
I did it my way When I fell back down, you know I did it too I did it my way I don't want to play the waiting game to lose I just want to live my life in my own way
