You're telling me the same old story
And that I need to change
If you're not leaving my life for me
You make me feel that way
You know, you know
We're losing control
I gotta break away
Or nothing's gonna change
You 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
I can't take away the pain
This is my independence day
This is my independence day
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 own 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
I can't take away the pain
This is my independence day
Wouldn't it be nice
If it could have worked out right for us?
I know you're fighting for all we had
But it didn't feel right
Hearts on our sleeves we lost tonight
And there's no looking back
or:
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
I can't take away the pain
This is my independence day
Wouldn't it be nice
If it would have worked out right for us?
And there's no looking back
This is my independence day
This is my independence day
