“Justify”
Why is it so hard for others to accept what’s true
Why is it so hard, can’t they understand the love I feel for you
It’s not about being right or wrong,
It’s about needing to move on
Because this is a choice I’ve made of mine
It’s not for other’s to decide
Let it be known your rules don’t apply,
You live your life and I’ll live mine
Justify
Justify
Nothing here to justify
You live your life, I’ll live mine
We don’t need to see eye to eye
I’ve respected your wishes, now you respect mine
This is who I am, not changing my mind
What’s it going to take for you to see?
I can’t go on not living like me
Take precautions, do what you need to do
I’m moving on, there’s nothing I need to prove
You’ve made your bed, now in it you lye,
There’s nothing here to be justified
Justify
Justify
Nothing here to justify
You live your life, I’ll live mine
We don’t need to see eye to eye
Justify
Justify
Nothing here to justify
I’m so tired of living a lie
This is me so stop asking, “Why?”

A mystical, seductive sound. Any thoughts?

I only see one small issue with the lyric... "others, you, they..." It's a little confusing, who are you speaking to? I like the overall "universal" gist of the lyric, so I don't want to assume anything lol

Hi JAPOV! “Others” would be the general public or society.
I don’t like to be too specific with titles and names, because I want the lyrics to be accessible to everyone. In other words, leave the lyrics to their imagination, so they can translate the words and meaning how it relates to their own situation.

I really enjoyed these lyrics! Simple and to the point and a universal idea that I think a lot of people can relate to. Do you have any music in mind?

Just a thought....
Why is it so hard for some to accept the truth
Where's the sense of decency meant for me and you
It’s not about being right or wrong
Just accept me and move on
I've made my choice, made up my mind
It’s not for other’s to decide
We breathe the same air, the same rules apply
You live your life and I’ll live mine
Justify
Justify
Nothing here to justify
You live your life, I’ll live mine
We don’t need to see eye to eye
I respect your wishes, now you respect mine
I have every right, you cannot be so blind
What’s it going to take for you to see
I can’t go on if I can't live like me
Defend your freedom, trust I'll do the same
Carry on and we'll both be unashamed
The only injury is to your foolish pride
There’s nothing here to be justified
Justify

Hi JAPOV! Thank you for the suggestions, but I think your lyrics are just too gentle for the emotion I am trying to portray. This is more of an angry, rebellious song. Kind of like a Pat Benatar type song.

Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
