You're telling me the same old story And that I need to change If you're not living my life for me You make it feel that way
You know you know We're losing control I gotta break away And nothing's gonna change
You've got to go It's the end of the road No matter what you do or say Baby, you're not what I need
I'm over this I'm over you I'm not gonna waste my life away This is my independence day I'm moving on There's no excuse And I can't take away your pain This is my independence day [2x]
Suddenly my picture's looking perfect Since you're not in the frame And deep down I never meant to hurt you But you're the one to blame
You know you know We're losing control Before it's too late I'm making my escape
Now that I'm gone You're on your own No matter what you do or say Baby, you're not what I need
I'm over this I'm over you I'm not gonna waste my life away This is my independence day I'm moving on There's no excuse And I can't take away your pain This is my independence day
Wouldn't it be nice If it could've worked out right for us? I know you fought for all we had
But it didn't feel right Heart's on our sleeves, we lost tonight And there's no looking back
I'm over this I'm over you I'm not gonna waste my life away This is my independence day I'm moving on There's no excuse And I can't take away your pain This is my independence day
Wouldn't it be nice If it would've worked out right for us? There's no looking back
