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
