The Shires – Independence Day lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's Fourth of July, you're crying
Your world's come crashin' down
You know it's not right but you still tryin'
To turn it back around

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see it now
You're better off without someone who kept you down
I know, I know you thought it was love
But love ain't like this
You should shine your brightest
I know, I know you're hurting now

[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring
Even though your tears are falling
For every star, for every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate
Your independence day

[Verse 2]
This time next year, we'll be laughin'
In the summer sun, poppin' bottles
We'll be right here, dancing 'til the darkness

[Pre-Chorus]
You know this ain't love yet, love ain't like this
You should shine your brightest
I know, I know you're hurting now

[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring
Even though your tears are falling
For every star, for every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate
Your independence day

[Bridge]
(Oh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Oh)
Your independence day
(Oh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Oh)
Your independence day

[Break]
It's Fourth of July, you're crying
Your world's come crashin' down

[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring (Oh)
Even though your tears are falling (Even though)
For every star, for every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight (On your heart tonight)
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it (Woah)
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate (Gonna celebrate)
Your independence day
