Miss Fourth Of July Lyrics - Bon Jovi

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 it meant 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.
