Independence - By Shaina

You let your pride have control

Didn’t listen to your soul

Your words always hit me hard

I never guess it’d leave me scarred

 

All the things you never saw

Led to our downfall

You never bothered to see my pain

Didn’t think to take the blame

 

I can’t take this anymore

It’s time to open that door

I’ve got to open my eyes and see

All the other opportunities

 

I feel you taunting me

With your lingering memory

You’re as clear as my tears

Even after all these years

 

But it’s all over now

Don’t you see how

I left you behind

Pushing you from my mind

 

My heart tells me no

But I wanna let go

I know it’s time to move on

Cause the fire is gone

 

You’ll never leave my heart

Cause now you are a part

Of who I am today

Now I’ve found my own way

 

I’m out on my own

Content with alone

The peace has come back

Since your presence I lack

 

After all the pain you put me through

I want you to know how I grew

See how I have my independence

My past is no longer a hindrance
