For too long I was weak
too weak to find my feet
I tried to hold it all inside
so you'd never realise
for too long I believed
that you were good for me, I closed my mind to other possibilities
you tried to out my fire

maybe I was just too scared
and maybe what you're
looking for is gone
'cause baby I

well people I've changed, yes I don't feel the same, they say I have a glow
It's all because you're gone
It's independence day
now I've found my way
I don't need your love to prove that I'm somebody

Maybe I was just too scared
and maybe what you're
looking for is gone
'cause baby I

Chorus:
I learned to love myself
I don't need no-one else
oh baby can't you see that
I don't need your chains around me
you said that it was love
it was just too much
I needed to be free
your kind of love was killing me
