Lyrics
Our love was like the 4th of July
Shooting stars across the summer sky
Holding onto one another Every breath was me and you

All good things must end
I care too much to pretend
So let's just walk away
It's better that way

Can't fake a flame when you don't have a spark
Can't keep it going I don't have the heart
Won't say I love you when it's a lie
The fire is dying we've burned to the ground
Nothing but ashes blowing around
No resurrection for this goodbye
When it's gone it's gone


I've tried to get the feeling again
It's like it up and vanished in the wind
What would you have me say Sorry don't explain

Who can understand the heart What makes it burn what tears it apart
I didn't mean to let it go It's not your fault you know
