Don't Need Your Approval - Hailey Rowe

[00:09.40]People tell me that I'm crazy
[00:11.70]That I should give up
[00:14.00]Stay inside the lines
[00:15.30]Because life is tough
[00:17.60]People say to have a good life
[00:20.00]You gotta find love
[00:21.90]Raise a good family
[00:24.20]And praise God above
[00:26.00]For a while I was convinced
[00:29.00]I conformed to their wishes
[00:34.00]But my life was not my own
[00:37.40]I just wish I would have known
[00:42.00]That I don't need approval on how to live my life
[00:45.60]And I want to be happy,not controlled by time
[00:50.40]So go ahead define me by my race or years
[00:53.80]But I won't be affected,I will save my tears
[00:58.00]Because I-y-y-I don't need your approval
[01:06.50]I know you are well-meaning
[01:08.80]Speak what you know
[01:10.50]Comfort isn't living
[01:12.50]Gotta free your soul
[01:14.50]What happened to all the leaders
[01:17.00]The ones who stand out
[01:19.70]Speak their minds
[01:20.60]Go against the crowd
[01:23.00]When did we become so fearful
[01:26.80]To be individuals （yeah yeah）
[01:30.80]Well, I am not convinced
[01:34.00]That normal is better than better than different
[01:39.40]That I don't need approval on how to live my life
[01:43.40]And I want to be happy,not controlled by time
[01:48.00]So go ahead define me by my race or years
[01:52.00]But I won't be affected, I will save my tears
[01:55.50]Because I-y-y-I don't need your approval no no
[02:08.50]Don't wanna hold back what I wanna say when I feel it,
[02:15.40]I don't wanna make decisions based on what society wants me to be
[02:22.50]When I look back on my life,
[02:25.50]I just wanna see that I
[02:27.50]Loved and lived a life that was right for me.
[02:31.00]That I don't need approval on how to live my life
[02:35.50]And I want to be happy,not controlled by time
