Miss Fourth Of July
I used to live but now I surviveI used to believe but now it's just one day at a timeThe circus is gone, it's all packed awayThe clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case
So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of JulyThe queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thornsDon't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of JulyThe stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn
I used to laugh but I've learned to cryAnd I ain't too proud to let you see tears fall from these eyesFor all of my hopes, my heartaches and fearsFor a night I just watched and you walked out of here
I just waved goodbye to Miss Fourth of JulyThe queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thornsDon't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of JulyThe crown that we reached for left us with nothing
But your thorns left me wounded not unlike the truthWhen innocence sang his last songHe'd tell me that it's all goneJust look me in the eyes and say it meant nothing at all
I used to live, I've learned to dieAnd I used to dream, I used to dream
So now we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of JulyThe queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thornsDon't say we've never tried, Miss Fourth of JulyThe stars that we reached for, they've left us with nothing but dawn
Oh yeahNothing but a heavy hit of heartbreakA handful of bluesOh yeahI'll never get off these
