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

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

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
