I was down in the depth of hell
No one really understood
what I felt
I could not draw breath,
could hardly tell
What the hell was going on
back then

All my feelings fighting inside
I was crawling down in my hell
I just could not lose, could not hide
What I used to tell you all back then

I did it my way
When I fell back down,
you know I did it too
I did it my way
I don't want to play
the waiting game to lose

What you've learned
in the last 10 years
It's another story of your life
'Cause of pain in your heart,
you shed some tears
You tried to make it be all right

I remember the day you were gone
You were the best and
the brightest of all
I was trying so hard,
cause I was told
The message was "Stay Gold"

"How have you been, man?"
"I've been fine"
"Wasn't it hard?"
"Yeah, but I got over it"
"Do you remember what I said?"
"How can I forget? I won't forget"

I did it my way
And you know I'll do it my way
Do it your way
Do the things you want to do now
Now I'm stepping
to the world unknown
This time not alone

I did it my way
When I fell back down,
you know I did it too
I did it my way
I don't want to play
the waiting game to lose
I just want to live
my life in my own way
