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 it feel that way
You know, you know
We're losing control

I gotta break away
Or nothing's gonna change
And 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 your pain
This is my independence day
This is my independence day

Suddenly my pictures looking perfect
Since you're not in the frame
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
And 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
I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it could have worked out right for us
I know you fell for all we had
But it didn't feel right
Hearts on your 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
I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

And wouldn't it be nice
If it would've worked out right for us
There's no looking back
This is my independence day
This is my independence day
