[00:22.65]I used to live but now I survive
[00:32.03]I used to believe but now it's just one day at a time
[00:44.54]The circus is gone, it's all packed away
[00:50.20]The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case
[00:55.89]Chorus: So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
[01:06.40]The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
[01:15.58]Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
[01:29.16]The stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn
[01:40.33]I used to laugh but I've learned to cry
[01:49.94]For I ain't too proud to let you see tears fall from these eyes
[02:03.26]For all of my hopes, my heartaches and fears
[02:08.22]For a night I just watched and you walked out of here
[02:13.52]I just waved goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
[02:24.62]The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
[02:33.91]Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
[02:47.31]The crown that we reached for left us with nothing
[02:53.96]But your thorns left me wounded not unlike the truth
[02:59.03]When innocence sang his last song
[03:05.35]He'd tell me that it's all gone
[03:10.97]Just look me in the eyes and say it meant nothing at all
[03:39.39]I used to live, now I've learned to die
[03:46.78]And I used to dream… I used to dream…
[03:59.18]So now we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
[04:11.75]The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
[04:21.50]Don't say we've never tried, Miss Fourth of July
[04:34.50]The stars that we reached for, they've left us with nothing but dawn
[04:44.37]Oh, yeah…
[04:50.34]Nothing but a heavy hit of heartbreak
[04:57.67]A handful of blues..
[05:03.85]The End
