“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?”

I like this! ANYBODY could say this... and anybody SHOULD!

Thanks JAPOV!!! Glad you dig it! Thank you for replying! By the way, I love your German Shepard.

You got a rhythm/melody in mind?

A mystical, seductive sound. Any thoughts?

Ha, sure... I've got all kinds of thoughts... but I lost all the "mystical seduction" in my voice about 30yrs ago lol

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?

Hi Cecileemusic! Thank you for your response! I have a melody in mind, but I do not any music to go with the lyrics yet. Any suggestions?

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

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.
