I feel that it's hard enough to say goodbye I feel there's the water Should I sink or dive An empty plate fill up my sentimental morning star I steal the art of putting truth in a lie I still want the girl that really caught my eye But, she lives in Oklahoma City far away from me Well then An empty hope chest I quit the dope quest And remain independently happy I said I'm finally happy happy independently happy I deal with the fact that I've forgiven the worst I feel that my social behavior may seem somewhat unrehearsed Another page A sullen rage And I'll be back to my normal self I'm finally happy happy independently happy I drive to the edge of my considerate plain I apologize to the people I hurt on the way But I wipe the slate clean I kick the daydream And remain independently happy I'm finally happy happy independently happy
