She flies with her own wings

I spent years and all this time
thinking I was better off cuz you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So I'm shiftin my life into drive
I'm getting out kissing the past good-bye
Like Toby said, "How do you like me now?"
This conversation has run dry
And I keep telling myself

ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo
There's more to me than you
ooooooo, ooooooo
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright, it's okay                                                           
I know I'll make it through                                                                     
Cuz there's more to me than you                                                      

I'm not saying I'm battered and bruised
but I might as well be with the words you used
I believe in myself, that makes me stronger
Things changed and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings, but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and on my way
And I keep telling myself

There was always something that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taking this for you to see

ooooooooo, ooooooo, oooooo
There's more to me than you

There's more to me than you

Song by Jessica Andrews

I love this song. Besides me loving Jessica Andrews as an artist, I love her lyrics. These ones are particularly strong and hit my heart strings on a personal level.
