Miss Independent Lyrics

I was feeling trapped and silenced

Thoughts spinning in my head

The feeling was growing stronger

I was crying in my bed

I guess that is what I get for

Thinking I was prepared

But you always shut me out

Thinking I never cared

And it was smart of me to let it go

I was always better on my own

Every time I put my heart on the line

It ends up broken

Every time I try to hide my feelings

They end up showing

So from now on I will hold them

I will keep them to myself

And from this point forward I'll just be Miss Independent

Miss Independent

No matter how many times I try

It never works out

But when I'm alone I can't help

Smiling to myself

Lack of worry and no more stress

And so much time

By taking away your presence

I was giving back life

It's something that you live and learn

Next time I'll know which way to turn

If I put my heart on the line I know it will be broken

So this time I'll leave my feelings behind

They won't be opened

And from now on

I will hold myself

I will be what I want to be

And from this point forward I'll just be Miss Independent

Miss Independent

I will do what I want to

No one can ever hold me down

Dependency is left behind

I'm focusing on myself

To avoid being hurt I will run till it hurts

If I put my heart on the line I know it will end up broken

So this time I'll leave my feelings behind

They won't be opened

And from now on

I will hold myself

I will try to be alone

And from this point forward I must be Miss Independent

Miss Independent
