You had it all arranged 
How our life would be 
Problem is, you never asked 
Or consulted me 
We'd share your life 
Your loving man at home 
Forgetting that 
I have a life 
That I can call my own 
You wrote the role 
You'd have me play 
But I'd have to be an actor 
For it to work out that way 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
And I'm getting out in time 
You've had this house 
And lived in it for years 
Now you want me to give up my place 
And move in with you here 
But it has your stamp 
A strong identity 
No matter how much 
I love you 
It'll never belong to me 
The life you've planned 
I could never take 
And the sacrifice you ask is one 
That you would never make. 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
And I'm getting out in time 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
This is your life, not mine 
And I'm getting out in time
