[Verse 1]
I tend to build walls
Yeah I can act tough
I'm strong when I wanna be
That’s all the time for me
I've had my heart broke
My ego's been bruised
I don’t give it away no more
That's what break ups are for
I don't ask for help
I like to do things on by myself

[Chorus]
Can I stand on my own two feet
While you hold my hand?
Can I be my own woman
With you as my man?
Can I let you in without changing who I am?
Do I have to choose?
Can I still be independent with you?
You, you
Can I still be independent with you?

[Verse 2]
The way you look at me
I'm starting to believe
That I could call you mine
And you'd still let me shine
'Cause I would do thе same for you
We could be living proof

[Chorus]
Can I stand on my own two feet
Whilе you hold my hand?
Can I be my own woman
With you as my man?
Can I let you in without changing who I am?
Do I have to choose?
Can I still be independent with you?
You, you
Can I still be independent with you?

[Bridge]
The way you're holding me
Is never too tight
I can finally breathe for the first time
The way you're holding me
Is never too tight
I can finally breathe for the first time

[Chorus]
I can stand on my own two feet
While you hold my hand
I can be my own woman
With you as my man
I can let you in without changing who I am
I don’t have to choose
No I can be independent with you
Yeah I’m still independent with you
Oh you, you
I can be independent with you
