I've had enough of your acting like you own me
You call this love
But it's just your way of trying to control me
I know my rights
I learned them in school
And I won't live my life by your rules
This is a declaration of my independence from you
You pushed me over the edge
And my pledge and allegiance is through
I'm on permanent vacation
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 breath there's no room to grow
I'm strong enough to stand on my own
This is 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 not anymore
This is my emancipation
From this nowhere situation
Declaration of my independence
Got my independence
Gotta get out
Got my independence from you
I've got to get my independence from you
I am free, I am free, I am free, I am free today
My lord knows I am free
Declaration of my independence
This is... it's a declaration
