• You can be anybody you want to be
  you can love whomever you will
  you can travel any country where your heart leads
  and know (we) will love you still.
  
  You can live by yourself,
  you can gather friends around
  you can choose one special one.
  And the only measure of your words and your deeds
  will be the love you leave behind when you're done.

The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.
