Independence Day lyrics

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?

Love is a refugee

Ain't that absurd?

You know how it feels

When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey

This is my independence day

She said she'd never love again

Because he broke her heart

And now she's blaming him

But he told her from the start

That what they had was special

But it ain't really love

Although he gave her everything

She never had his heart

But that's all that she needs

So what's tearing her apart?

'Cause loving him is hard

But that's all she really wants

She treats him like a king

And he treats her like a queen

But when he don't come home

He don't tell her where he's been

But she already knows

He got lipstick in his clothes

It's the message in his phone

And the smell of his cologne

But she don't say a tone or even moan

She don't stress, fight or fuss

She just keeps it to her own

When she cries, she dries her eyes

She never lied in her life

So his lies sound like knives every night

In the morning she's all right

'Cause she don't wanna fight

But tonight she'll be gone forever

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?

Love is a refugee

Ain't that absurd?

You know how it feels

When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey

This is my independence day

He said he'd never love again

'Cause he don't want the pain

Of having someone special

Do that shit to him again

And though it ain't his fault

There ain't no-one else to blame

For all those sunny days

When all you see is rain

All you got are memories

But that just ain't the same

'Cause the woman that he loved

Must have simply gone away

And everyday he wakes up

Feeling like he's up in chains

And now her sweetest touch

Is like a shot to his brain

And this is just a shame

'Cause she don't say a thing

Except to break his heart

Like she's in a wicked game

That he ain't trying to play

But he's stuck trying to win

'Cause he's stuck loving someone

Who just ain't in love with him

But he's in love with her

And this is where it hurts

No but she don't give a damn

Or even know his worth

She treats him like he's dirt

That she can throw away

But he ain't going away

'Cause today's gonna be the day

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?

Love is a refugee

Ain't that absurd?

You know how it feels

When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey

This is my independence day

So forgive me but I'm gone now

'Cause I'm free and I'm never coming home now

I'll find hope in forever

'Cause I'm thrown now

And I'm flying and I ain't gonna go down

I used to think we were magic but slow down

You didn't know what you had when you had it

And now you realise that it's gone like magic

And I guess you really want me back, right?

Well, forget it

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?

Love is a refugee

Ain't that absurd?

You know how it feels

When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey

This is my independence day

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?

Love is a refugee

Ain't that absurd?

You know how it feels

When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey

This is my independence day
