Verse
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 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
Can I still be independent with you
Verse
The way you look at me
I’m starting to believe
That I could call you mine
And you’d still let me shine
I would do the same for you
We could be living proof
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
Can I still be independent with you
Bridge
The way you’re holdin’ me
Is never too tight
I can finally breathe for the first
The way you’re holdin’ 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
I’m still independent with you
I can still be independent with you
