Declaration of My Independence Carola

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
