I used to live but now I survive I used to believe but now it's just one day at a time The circus is gone, it's all packed away The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case Chorus: So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July The stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn I used to laugh but I've learned to cry For I ain't too proud to let you see tears fall from these eyes For all of my hopes, my heartaches and fears For a night I just watched and you walked out of here I just waved goodbye to Miss Fourth of July The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July The crown that we reached for left us with nothing But your thorns left me wounded not unlike the truth When innocence sang his last song He'd tell me that it's all gone Just look me in the eyes and say it meant nothing at all I used to live, now I've learned to die And I used to dream… I used to dream… So now we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns Don't say we've never tried, Miss Fourth of July The stars that we reached for, they've left us with nothing but dawn Oh, yeah… Nothing but a heavy hit of heartbreak A handful of blues.. The End
