- Independence Day LyricsFor too long I was weak
Too weak to find my feet
I tried to hold it all inside
So you'd never realize
For too long I believed
That you were good for me
I closed my mind
To other possibilities
You tried to out my fire
Yes you did, yes you did
Then you took control of me, yeah
Maybe I was just too scared
Maybe what you're looking for is gone
'Cause, baby, I learned to love myself
I don't need no one else
Baby, can't you see that
I don't need your chains around me
You said that this was love
And it was just too much
I needed to be free
Your kind of love was killing me
Yeah, it's killing me
Well, people say I've changed
Yes, I don't feel the same
They say I have a glow
It's all because you're gone
I learned to love myself
I don't need no one else
Baby, can't you see that
I don't need your chains around me
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
Maybe what you're looking for is gone
'Cause baby I, I learned to love myself
I don't need no one else
And baby can't you see that
I don't need your chains around me
You said that this was love
And it was just too much
I needed to be free
Your kind of love was killing me
Baby, baby
Your kind of love was killing me, yeah
Baby, yeah, oh baby, yeah
Your kind of love was killing me, yeah
I don't need no one else
I learned to love myself
Your kind of love was killing me, yeah
I just don't need it
Don't need you kind of love
Your kind of love was killing me, yeah
Oh, I don't need it, yeah
Yeah, it was killing me, yeah
Yeah, it's killing me
Too weak to find my feet
I tried to hold it all inside
So you'd never realize
For too long I believed
That you were good for me
I closed my mind
To other possibilities
You tried to out my fire
Yes you did, yes you did
Then you took control of me, yeah
Maybe I was just too scared
Maybe what you're looking for is gone
'Cause, baby, I learned to love myself
I don't need no one else
Baby, can't you see that
I don't need your chains around me
You said that this was love
And it was just too much
I needed to be free
Your kind of love was killing me
Yeah, it's killing me
