Independence Day
All hail for the Red, White, and Blue
I always thought I'd spend it with you
but now it's here and you are gone
and I'm spending it all alone
That's okay for at least I know
I can count on me wherever I go
to always be true and always there
which is more than I can say for you, my dear
No more wondering and kept in the dark
if we'll be together or grow apart
You showed your colors ever so true
and all you left me with is blue
I wished I'd known so many months ago
that you would leave me when I needed you most
One day you'll need someone too
and they will leave you with only blue
So think real hard next time you run
about all the things that you have done
Who will be there in the end
Happy Independence day, my friend
