For too long I was weak

Too weak to find my feet

I tried to hold it all inside

So you'd never realize For too long I believed

That you were good for me

I closed my mind

To other possibilities You tried to out my fire

Yes you did, yes you did

Then you took control of me, yeah Maybe I was just too scared

Maybe what you're looking for is gone 'Cause, baby, I learned to love myself

I don't need no one else

Baby, can't you see that

I don't need your chains around me You said that this was love

And it was just too much

I needed to be free

Your kind of love was killing me

Yeah, it's killing me Well, people say I've changed

Yes, I don't feel the same

They say I have a glow

It's all because you're gone I learned to love myself

I don't need no one else

Baby, can't you see that

I don't need your chains around me It's independence day

Now I've found my way

I don't need your love

To prove that I'm somebody Maybe I was just too scared

Maybe what you're looking for is gone 'Cause baby I, I learned to love myself

I don't need no one else

And baby can't you see that

I don't need your chains around me You said that this was love

And it was just too much

I needed to be free

Your kind of love was killing me Baby, baby
