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)
