[verse 1]
You stand right there, i start to cry
You stare down to see my eyes
You say, “Hello. How do you do?
I never meant to be with you.”
I heard the words. They split apart
They ate my soul, they broke my heart
And at that time, I realized
I wish he’d stayed

[Chorus]
Cause now i’m just a crazy
Little girl waiting for her prince
You know you’ve never seen me like this
Cause now i’m cool, and I'm calm, but i’m not collected
I know i’m not just what you expected
Yeah, yeah. I’m independent
Yeah, yeah. I’m independent

[verse 2]
He walked away. The tears fell down
He never looked back, never turned around
And at that time, I realized
I wish he’d stayed

[Chorus]
Cause now i’m just a crazy
Little girl waiting for her prince
You know you’ve never seen me like this
Cause now i’m cool, and i’m calm, but i’m not collected
I know i’m not just what you expected
Yeah, yeah. I’m independent
Yeah, yeah. I’m independent

[bridge]
And at that time, I realized, i’m glad he left

[Chorus 2]
Cause now i’m alone but
I’m not alone at all
Who knew you got to fly after you fall?
Hey, yeah. I’m independent
Hey, yeah. I’m independant

[outro]
And at that time, i realized, he wants me back
