She was 15 when you took her away
Thought she was freed until your hand struck 
Stayed in place believing there's no other way
Kept her restrained within your family
Until she lost every part that was her
But she's older now and she's wiser now
And even though you've calmed yourself
She's still there blaming herself 
For all of the shit you put her through
She'll never be free until she frees herself

 You think you know her don't you
Thinking she'll stay within the cage you caged her in
But you don't know her like you think you do
She's been making plans for her getaway

Now that she's older
She's a little wiser
Now that she's stronger
She's become a fighter
Making plans for her getaway
Her final getaway 
Will be her independence day

The words you said hurt more than your chokehold
She still remembers how it felt not to breathe
Hoping to die until you finally let go
Blaming her for your anger she should've known
A women's place is within the home
Cut her off from everyone she's known
Until she feels she's got nowhere else to go
Tell her you love her but then you cheated
Blamed her for not being enough feeling defeated
But little did you know she became undefeated 

You think you know her don't you
Thinking she'll stay within the cage you caged her in
But you don't know her like you think you do
She's been making plans for her getaway

Now that she's older
She's a little wiser
Now that she's stronger
She's become a fighter
Making plans for her getaway
Her final getaway 
Will be her independence day

Now that you think you have her in her place
She's been submitting playing it safe
And while you lie I love yous to her face
She's knows you're sleeping with someone else
She's waiting for the perfect moment 
She's finding the strength within herself
To make her perfect getaway away
Away from the toxins of each day
And even though you've calmed yourself 
There's been too much shit you put her through 

You think you know her don't you
Thinking she'll stay within the cage you caged her in
But you don't know her like you think you do
She's been making plans for her getaway

Now that she's older
She's a little wiser
Now that she's stronger
She's become a fighter
Making plans for her getaway
Her final getaway 
Will be her independence day
