Independence Day - Radio Edit

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
Love is a refugee, ain't that absurd? (Check it)
You know how it feels (you know how it feels) when starlight and dreams
Slowly fade to gray (slowly fade away)
This is my Independence Day (yeah)

She said she'd never love again because he broke her heart
And now she's blamin' him, but he told her from the start
That what they have is 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 it's tearing her apart
'Cause lovin' 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 (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 alright, '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 starlight and dreams (starlight and dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
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 every day he wakes up feeling like he's up in chains
And now her sweetest touch is like a shot to his brains

And this is just a shame 'cause she don't say a thing
Except to break his heart like he's in a wicked game
That he ain't tryna play, but he's stuck tryna 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
Knowing 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 gonna wait '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 starlight and dreams (starlight and dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my Independence Day

So forgive me, but I'm gone now (oh)
'Cause I'm free, and I'm never comin' home now (oh)
I'll find hope in forever 'cause I'm through now
And now I'm flying, and I ain't gonna go down

I used to think we were magic, but slow down (slow)
You didn't know what you had when you had it (yeah)
And now you realize 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? (Come on, come on)
You know how it feels when starlight and dreams (starlight and dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my Independence Day, yeah, yeah

Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
Love is a refugee (it's a refugee), ain't that absurd?
You know how it feels when starlight and dreams (starlight and dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my Independence Day
