Declaration of My Independence lyrics

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 allegiance 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 offered 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 allegiance is through

(Independence, my independence)

This is my emancipation

From this nowhere situation

It's a declaration of my independence from you

For awhile, my heart was really broken

But that was before

For awhile, I left these words unspoken

But not anymore

(Independence, my independence)

No more

(Independence, my independence)  

This is my emancipation

From this nowhere situation

It's a declaration of my... 

Declaration of my independence 

Gotta get out

Gotta get away from, gotta get away from you

From you

(Declaration of my independence from you)

This is a declaration of my independence from you

From you

(Declaration of my independence from you)  

This is my declaration of my independence from you

From you

(Declaration of my independence from you)

This is my declaration of my independence from you

From you

(Declaration of my independence from you)

This is my declaration 

My declaration from you

(Declaration of my independence from you)
