Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hate to admit our affair isn't working
Just call it quits let it go
We've reached the end
Had a good run all that's left is the hurting
There ain't no fun we both know
Don't lets pretend

I tried my best to close my eyes to what's been going wrong
I've let it rest ignored your lies
But now I'm moving on


I'm fed up with the silly games you play
Had enough now I'm gonna have my say
Wasting my time just throw my life away
Hey get ready it's Independence Day
Get ready it's Independence Day


Day after day all you give me is sorrow
I'll be ok start again find someone new
Its for the best I'll be smiling tomorrow
Out of a mess until then I'll muddle through


I tried my best to close my eyes
To what's been going wrong
I've let it rest ignored your lies
But now I'm moving on


I'm fed up with the silly games you play
Had enough now I'm gonna have my say
Wasting my time just throw my life away
Hey get ready it's Independence Day




Get ready it's Independence Day
Get ready it's Independence Day
