Independence Day lyrics

[Verse 1: Luke]

You're telling me the same old story

And that I need to change

If you're not living my life for me

You make it feel that way

You know you know, we're losing control

I gotta break away or nothing's gonna change

You've got to go, it's the end of the road

No matter what you do or say

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]

Baby, you're not what I need

[Chorus: Calum]

I'm over this, I'm over you

I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day

I'm moving on, there's no excuse

And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day

This is my independence day

[Verse 2: Calum]

Suddenly my picture's looking perfect

Since you're not in the frame

And deep down I never meant to hurt you

But you're the one to blame

You know you know, we're losing control

Before it's too late I'm making my escape

Now that I'm gone, you're on your own

No matter what you do or say

[Pre-Chorus: Calum]

Baby, you're not what I need

[Chorus: Calum]

I'm over this, I'm over you

I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day

I'm moving on, there's no excuse

And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day

[Bridge: Michael]

Wouldn't it be nice if it could've worked out right for us?

I know you fought for all we had

But it didn't feel right, hearts on our sleeves, we lost tonight

And there's no looking back

[Chorus: Calum]

I'm over this, I'm over you

I'm not gonna waste my life away

This is my independence day

I'm moving on, there's no excuse

And I can't take away your pain

This is my independence day

And wouldn't it be nice

If it would've worked out right for us

There's no looking back

This is my independence day

This is my independence day
