[Verse 1]
Like you said when we crawled down from the trees
We're in transition
I don't want to remain on the edge
We must embrace the new conditions

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm alright, I'm alright, though it's a contradiction
It's enough, but less than I imagined

[Verse 2]
I'll get used to this
A one roomed apartment
If I fall behind with the rent
I'll have to borrow from a close friend

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm alright, I'm alright, though it's a contradiction
It's enough, but less than I imagined

[Chorus]
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
[Verse 3]
When you said it gets so cold that we could freeze
I reconsidered
I did all I could to be saved
It looks like I made the wrong decision

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm alright, I'm alright, though it's a contradiction
It's enough, but less than I imagined

[Chorus]
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence

[Bridge]
Independence ain't dependence
Independence ain't dependence
Independence ain't dependence
Independence ain't dependence

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm alright, I'm alright, though it's a contradiction
It's enough, but less than I imagined
[Chorus]
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
You always promise more than you can deliver
Independence ain't dependence
