Independent SENSØRV, EQRIC

You called it love
But it felt like chains
Every little smile
Came with hidden blame

I got tired of shrinking
To fit your world
Now I wear my freedom
Like my favorite pearl

I don't need permission
To become myself

I'm independent
Light as the wind
No more shadows
Under my skin

I'm independent
Finally free
The best thing you lost
Turned out to be me

No more crying
No more pretend
I found my beginning
At your end

Coffee in the morning
No fear in my chest
Silence isn't lonely
It's where I feel my best

Every open highway
Every city light
Reminds me I can choose
Any dream tonight

You don't own my story
You never did

I'm independent
Light as the wind
No more shadows
Under my skin

I'm independent
Finally free
The best thing you lost
Turned out to be me

No more crying
No more pretend
I found my beginning
At your end

I don't carry your words anymore
They don't fit who I am now
Every scar became a doorway
Every goodbye showed me how

To dance alone
To laugh out loud
To love myself
Without a crowd

I'm independent
Watch me rise
There's no fear left
In my eyes

I'm independent
Strong and free
You closed one door
The sky found me

No looking back
No apologies
I'm finally living
Exactly like me

I'm still dancing
Still breathing
Still believing
