It’s been a year since I told her
On the 4th of July
And I knew she was moving away
But i said it any way
It’s been a year since I told her
What I knew from the start
All the love I had for her
It was tearing me apart

So I wrote a song
I didn’t like it
It sounded wrong
I wrote it again
With different words
And I planned to sing it for her

Instead I got drunk on the 4th of July
I tried to look her in the eye
I got drunk, I was horrified
So nervous I took her aside
And we sat on her bed
And I stared straight ahead
And I said
I love you

It’s been an year since she left me
And I never sang that song
And she’ll probably never know it exists
And She’ll never sing along

So I wrote a song
I didn’t like it
It sounded wrong
I wrote it again
With different words
And I planned to send it to her

Instead I got drunk on the 4th of July
and tried my hardest not to cry
Got drunk, and I told myself another lie
Had to set myself aside
And I sat on my bed
And I stared straight ahead
And I said
