do you


Why do my actions concern you?

When your actions don't bother me

The choices I make belong to me

And that can't be fixed from moving to another country.

 

Why does my salvation concern you?

When your salvation doesn't bother me

Didn't say anything about your one night stand

So don't say anything about the woman who has my hand.

 

Why should it matter if I disgust you?

I don't care if you disgust me

We have eyelids for a reason

Flutter them closed to escape my act of treason.

 

All I'm saying is the world would be better if we could stop judging

Hate leads to destruction

And it's a much greater sin

So live your life the way you want to

And let me do me, while you do you.
