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
Chorus:
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 man, nothing at all
- solo -
I used to live, now I've learned to die
And I used to dream... I used to dream...
Chorus:
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..
Oh, yeah...

Miss Cuatro de Julio

Antes vivia, ahora sobrevivo
antes creia pero ahora es de vez en cuando
el circo se fue, esta todo empaquetado
el gorro del payaso, el maquillaje tambien esta en su maleta
Despidamos a Miss 4 de julio
la reina de las rosas nos dejo sin nada excepto espinas
no digas que nunca lo intentamos, Miss 4 de julio
las estrellas que alcanzamos nos dejaron sin nada excepto amanecer
Antes reia ahora he aprendido a llorar
no me enorgullece que veas lagrimas caer de estos ojos
por todas mis esperanzas, penas y miedos
por la noche que vi que te ibas
Despedi a Miss 4 de julio
Despidamos a Miss 4 de julio
la reina de las rosas nos dejo sin nada excepto espinas
no digas que nunca lo intentamos, Miss 4 de julio
La corona que alcanzamos nos djo sin nada
pero tus espinas me hirieron menos que la verdad
cuando la inocencia canto su ultima cancion
me dijo que todo se acabó
mirame a los ojos y dime que no significó nada
Antes vivia, ahora he aprendido a morir
antes soñaba..........antes soñaba
oh si.......
nada más que un monton de penas
un puñado de tristeza
oh, si
