Independence Day

I thought the bad times would never cease
I feared there'd never be a reprieve
And then one day, daylight came again

Light the fireworks, spread the cheer
It's time to celebrate
Cause you're not here

After all that time and all we went through
It's Independence Day
I'm independent of you

Uncork the champagne, declare a holiday
Wallow in the joy
Cause you're far away

After all that time and all we went through
It's Independence Day
I'm independent of you

I thought the bad times would never cease
I feared there'd never be a reprieve
And then one day, daylight came again
I don't need you anymore

So dance and sing and just rejoice
It's peaceful and calm
Without your voice

After all that time and all we went through
It's Independence Day
I'm independent of you

The good times seem like they'll just keep on
Everything's great
Now that you're gone

After all that time and all we went through
It's Independence Day
I'm independent of you

I thought the bad times would never cease
I feared there'd never be a reprieve
And then one day, daylight came again
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore

I'll have a good time just like I should
I'll paint the town
Cause you're gone for good

Light the fireworks, spread the cheer
It's time to celebrate Cause you're not here

Uncork the champagne, declare a holiday
Wallow in the joy
Cause you're far away

So dance and sing and just rejoice
It's peaceful and calm
Without your voice

The good times seem like they'll just keep on
Everything's great
Now that you're gone

After all that time and all we went through
It's Independence Day
I'm independent of you

I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
