I've had enough
Of your acting like you own me
You call this love
But it's just your way of tryin' to control me
I know my rights I learned 'em in school
And I won't live my life by your rules
This is a declaration of my independence from you
(Independence, my independence)
You pushed me over the edge
Now my pledge of allegance is through
(Independence, my independence)
This is my emancipation
From this nowhere situation
This is a declaration of my independence from you
You shut me out
When I offer my opinions
You put me down
You say I'm too emotional to make good decisions
I just can't breathe there's no room to grow
I'm strong enough to stand on my own
This is a declaration of my independence from you
(Independence, my independence)
You pushed me over the edge
Now my pledge of allegance is through
(Independence, my independence)
This is my emancipation
From this nowhere situation
It's a declaration of my independence from you
For a while my heart was really broken
But that was before
For a while I left these words unspoken
But no anymore
This is my emancipation
From this nowhere situation
It's a declaration of my independence from you
Gotta get out
Gotta get away from, gotta get away from you
