Lyrics
Independence Day
Written by: J.L. Baker
Today i'm leaving
you best be believin'
that i'm not gonna turn around this time
I spent so much dreamin'
of you and I keeping
this broken hope alive
that i'm down to my last dime
only to wade through so many lies
(Chorus)
I'm gonna be free
i'm gonna find me
and leave this broke rearview mirror behind
gonna raise my flag high
under a blue sky
and let it wave across the gray
it's my independence day
All of my friends say
i'm better off this way
that I was giving up the best part of me.
But my heart tells me
I don't remember who I am
or who I used to be before this went down
But I'm taking off this crown of shame
i'm not gonna hang here and die for our sake
Repeat Chorus
(Bridge)
And one day you'll realize what you've done
when you've come out of this all alone
I tried so hard to make you see
but now i'm moving on
i'm moving on
(Repeat Chorus)
