5 Seconds Of Summer – Independence Day lyrics
You're telling' me the same old story
That I need to change
If you're not livin' my life for me
Make you feel that way
You know you know, were losing control
I gotta break away, or nothing's gonna change
You got to go, it's the end of the road
No matter what you do or say
Baby you're not what I need

I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day
Whoo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is my independence day
Whoo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Suddenly my picture's looking perfect
Since you're not in the frame
And deep down, I never meant to hurt you
But you're the one to blame
You know you know, were losing control
Before it's too late, I'm making my escape
Now that I'm gone, you're on your own
No matter what you do or say
Baby you're not what I need

I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it would'a worked out right for us
I know you fight for all we had
But it didn't feel right
Hearts on our sleeves we lost tonight
And there's no looking back

I'm over this, I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it would'a worked out right for us
(There's no looking back)
Whoo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is my independence day
Whoo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is my independence day

    Its about a guy breaking up with a controlling girlfriend, and explaining why. He's saying she needed him to change. Afterwards he saying it was his independence day, and he saying his life is perfect now that they're not together and he was over it and her. He's also saying it would've been nice if things worked out for them. So in a way it might sound like he's kinda sad things didn't work out.
