In My Own Way

Story Behind The Song

It took a while for me to appreciate that love comes in different forms. I was feeling pressured to fulfill someone's expectation of what their love interest should be. Why couldn't I? Well, I turned it around to How could I? In other words, how could I behave in the relationship so as to be true to me and still help assuage another's needs? The only answer I could come up with is to love in my own way.

Lyrics

In My Own Way

Cho: Been thinking about the last time I saw you
I left though you begged me not to
There's something in me that won't let me stay
Still I love you in my own way

V1: I realized a long time ago
My heart has a mind of its own
I've tried and I've tried but can't make it behave
Still I love you in my own way

Cho:

Bridge: Don't expect me to be like anyone you've ever known
I can't live like that and I won't even try
I can't take you somewhere you don't want to go
But I hope I don't have to make this journey alone

V3: You're not perfect and neither am I
That's not just some weak alibi
Don't know about tomorrow but I know I'm here today
And I love you in my own way

Cho:
