Independence Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You’re telling me the same old story
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’ve got to 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
and I can’t take away your 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 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
Hearts 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
This is my Independence Day
This is my Independence Day
