Independent Woman

You come back home without a hello

I get dressed up but you never see

Realized with a glimpse of our wedding photo

You made an independent woman outta me

You shut me out behind every door

You laugh with everyone else but me

I’m left wishing it was like before

You made an independent woman outta me

Dinner for two that turns into one

Broken promises turn into none

Loneliness is all I think of

If you only knew, just how much,

I miss your love

I’d tell you my plans, but you’d only forget

You don’t even hear all my pleas

I know you less now than when we first met

You made an independent woman outta me

I know you’re there but you’re like a ghost

Just a presence that wants to be free

That’s not what frightens me the most

You made an independent woman outta me

You have no idea that I cry all the time

Will this be the rest of our lives?

Loneliness is all I think of

If you only knew, just how much,

I miss your love

I guess I just have to get used to the pain

And learn what it’s like to choose me, Remember ,

if you decide to come back to our love

You made an independent woman outta me
