What's Right For Me? Lyrics — The Devil Wears Prada

ANDY:
I?ve been writing a story
Of how my life is supposed to go
The obvious plan, rise high as you can
'Til you?re running the show
Did I want it 'cause everyone wants it?
Did I chase it 'cause everyone does?
Too caught up in the light
To see how lost I was

(Chorus:)
What if I let my only question be
What?s right for me?
When was the last time
I answered that honestly?
Come back down to earth, and finally
Try to figure out what?s right for me

(spoken)
(You're home kinda early, aren?t you?)
Change of plans, I quit
(For real?)
Nate, I'm really sorry for the way I left
My God, for a lot of things, really, I-
The truth is, I sort of lost my way a bit
And honestly I don?t know what's next,
But I do know that I miss you
(Andy, you?re still the smartest,
Most hard-working girl I know
You'll figure it out
We'll figure it out)


(sung)
I wanna write the kind of stories
That define a generation
Am I here to find my voice,
Or just some validation?
Use what I?ve learned to start working it out
What could I even write stories about?

(spoken)
(Andy, your writing samples are excellent)
Oh, great
(The piece on the Janitors Union,
It?s really strong stuff)
Thank you
(So listen,
I called over to Runway for a reference
And received an email
From Miranda Priestly herself)
You did?
(Saying that of all the assistants she's ever had
You were, by far, her biggest disappointment)
(And if you don?t hire her, you're an idiot)
(I?d love to know what that's all about)

(sung)
We?re all writing a story, every day
The life we choose to define
If it's right for you, I respect it, I do
But those clothes weren't mine
Well, what if for once
I truly let myself believe
That who I am means more
Than how much I achieve?

(Chorus:)
What if I had to sell my soul to see
What?s right for me?
If I succeed, let it be with integrity
Got a voice, that I?ll find eventually
As I figure out what's right for me

What?s right for me, whoa
Let that be enough to set you free
Well, I fell for someone else's fantasy
When I write the book,
I?ll write for me
From now on,
I choose what's right for me
What?s right for me
What's right for me
