I am free and independent
I wonder why I let myself fall into an abyss of misery in the first place
I hear your name in the rustle of the leaves but it no longer hurts
I see your hand drifting away from mine as you walk up to her and its ok with me
I want to live a life where I'm no longer in an entrapment of love for you
I am free and independent
I pretend you were a good person and you really cared but I can't fool myself
I feel that I have to move on and just keep walking no matter how hard it may be
I touch the clouds that spell out your name then smear them until they're illegible
I worry I'll let myself fall in love with you and be hurt again
I cry because I know I'll miss loving you and I'll miss you loving me
I am free and independent
I understand that I must learn to live a life that doesn't include you as my love
I say that after all of the darkness and sadness soon comes happiness
I dream of when I'll be able to speak your name without the hole in my heart aching
I hope that I'll have the strength and courage to overcome my love for you and be happy
I am free and independent
