[English]

I'm breaking down, gonna start from scratch

Shake it off like an etch-a-sketch

My lips are saying good-bye

My eyes are finally dry

I'm not the way that I used to be

I took the record off repeat

It killed me, but I survived

And now I'm coming alive

I'll never be that girl again, no-oh-oh

I'll never be that girl again, no-oh-oh

My innocence is wearing thin

But my heart is growing strong

So call me, call me, call me

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh, yeah

I broke the glass that surrounded me (surrounded me)

I ain't the way you remember me (remember me)

I was such a good girl

So fragile but no more

I jumped the fence to the other side (the other side)

My whole world was electrified (electrified)

Now I'm now longer afraid

It's Independence Day

(It's Independence Day)

I'll never be that girl again, no-oh-oh

I'll never be that girl again, no-oh-oh

My innocence is wearing thin

But my heart is growing strong

So call me, call me, call me

Miss movin' on

Everything is changing and I never wanna go back to the way it was

(The way it was)

I'm finding who I am and who I am from here on out is gonna be enough

(Gonna be enough) It's gonna be enough

I'll never be that girl again, no-oh-oh

I'll never be that girl again, oh-oh-oh-oh

My innocence is wearing thin

But my heart is growing strong

So call me, call me, call me

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh

Miss movin' on, oh-oh-oh (hey, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, I'm movin' on
