[Intro: Michael]
Woo!

[Verse 1: Luke]
You're telling me the same old story
And that I need to change
If you're not living my life for me
You make it feel that way
You know, you know, we're losing control
I gotta break away or nothing's gonna change
You've got to go, it's the end of the road
No matter what you do or say

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]
Baby, you're not what I need

[Chorus: Calum & Michael, Calum]
I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm movin' on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

[Post-Chorus: Calum]
This is my independence day
[Verse 2: Calum & Ashton]
Suddenly, my picture's looking perfect
Since you're not in the frame
And deep down, I never meant to hurt you
But you're the one to blame
You know, you know, we're losing control
Before it's too late, I'm making my escape
And now that I'm gone, you're on your own
No matter what you do or say

[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Luke]
Baby, you're not what I need

[Chorus: Calum & Michael, Calum]
I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm movin' on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

[Bridge: Michael, Ashton, Michael & Ashton]
Wouldn't it be nice (Be nice)
If it could've worked out right for us?
I know you fought for all we had (What?)
But it didn't feel right (Feel right)
Hearts on our sleeves, we lost tonight
And there's no lookin' back
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Calum & Michael, Calum]
I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm movin' on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

[Breakdown: Calum, Ashton]
And wouldn't it be nice (Be nice)
If it would've worked out right for us?
There's no lookin' back

[Outro: Calum]
This is my independence day
This is my independence day
