Secondhand Regrets - 4th of July Lyrics

There were days in the winter where you wouldn't see each other
For a month or two, and that was just fine
Because you smelled another on the collar of the sweater that you bought for him for Fourth of July

The fireworks went off and they lit up the whole sky, but they fade away in such a short time
Now you're sitting, wondering, waiting, wishing
Why he's only in your visions, never right by your side

So you turn away in disgust, the lies and the distrust
You run and you cry to your hands that smell like her, too

And in your mind it's always fourth of July, if you had to let go of that you don't know what you do
He fell in love, and you thought you loved him too
Honestly if you had to tell the truth, in the back of your mind you know that you still do

You have so many words to say but know you'll never say them, you're too scared to try
You're just wishing that you could go back in time, to last Fourth of July
When the fireworks went off and lit up the whole sky: "they won't fade away if you try!"
Yet you're sitting wondering waiting wishing "why's he only in your visions?"
When I'm right by your side

You try to start again but no one's quite like him
And you pass by the one who knows how to really love you

And in your mind it's always fourth of July
If you had to let go of that you don't know what you do
He fell in love, and you thought you loved him too
Honestly if you had to tell the truth, in the back of your mind you know that you still do
