[Verse 1]
It's Fourth of July, you're crying
Your world's come crashin' down
You know it's not right, but you're still tryin'
To turn it back around
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see it now
You're better off without someone who kept you down
I know, I know you thought it was love
But love ain't like this
You should shine your brightest
I know, I know you're hurting right now
[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring
Even though your tears are falling
For every star, every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate
Your independence day
[Verse 2]
This time next year, we'll be laughin'
In the summer sun, poppin' bottles
We'll be right here, dancing 'til the darkness
[Pre-Chorus]
You know this ain't love yet, love ain't like this
You should shine your brightest
I know, I know you're hurting right now
[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring
Even though your tears are falling
For every star, every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate
Your independence day
[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, your independence day
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, your independence day
[Break]
It's Fourth of July, you're crying
Your world's come crashin' down
[Chorus]
I can see the fireworks soaring (Oh)
Even though your tears are falling (Even though)
For every star, every stripe
There's a scar on your heart tonight (On your heart tonight)
True love will never take your freedom
Right now, I know you don't believe it (Woah)
But, baby, one day, hey, you're gonna celebrate (Gonna celebrate)
Your independence day

It’s a metaphor for American Independence Day. But actually, it’s a conversation with a close friend of yours or a family member or someone that’s going through a breakup. It’s maybe the end of that relationship, but it’s the start of finding yourself. I feel like it’s a really uplifting song to mak...
