Blue October - Independently Happy lyrics

I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye
I feel there's the water
Should I sink or dive? An empty plate
Fill up my sentimental morning stars
And I steal the art of putting truth in a lie
And I still want the girl
That really caught my eye
But, oh, she lives in Oklahoma City
Far away from me
Well, there's an empty hope chest
I quit the dope quest
And remain independently happy

I said I'm finally happy, happy
Independently happy

And I deal with the fact
That I've forgiven the worst
And I feel that my social behavior
May seem somewhat unrehearsed
But another page, a sullen rage
And I'll be back to my normal self

I'm finally happy, happy independently happy

So I drive to the edge
Of my considerate plane
And I apologize to the people
I hurt on the way but, I
I wipe the slate clean, I kick the daydream
And remain independently happy

I said I'm finally happy, happy
Independently happy, I'm happy
I'm independently, I'm independently
