Kim about ‘Different Story’

‘Different Story’ was written with Swedish writers Epicentre, that’s Frederick and Anders, who I love writing songs with. We came up with this defiant pop song which really says ‘just let me get on with it, please don’t chip in with what you think I should be doing. How many people in your life do you know keep telling you how to live it? It’s really annoying isn’t it? (1)

Lyrics

So you made your mind up, got it figured out,
Think you know better, better than you think that I do,
But I do.. yeah I do.

Live your own life make your decisions,
I promise not to judge you when I don’t understand what you do,
You do.. and you do.

I’ve got a different story to tell, and I’m not falling,
For all the lies that you want to sell, hey..
So just leave me to live,
I don’t need you to give me advice on the way I must live my life.
I’ve got a different story to tell.

I’m no angel I know I’m not a sinner,
And some days I’m a winner,
The rest I’m just the best I can do,
And I do.. yeah I do.

I’ve got a different story to tell, and I’m not falling,
For all the lies that you want to sell, hey hey..
So just leave me to live,
I don’t need you to give me advice on the way I must live my life.
I’ve got a different story to tell.

No more opinions, no more lies,
Just get off my back this is all despise,
I’m telling you, no no no no!
Oh no..

I’ve got a different story to tell.

I’ve got a different story to tell.
