my ex’s new lover doesn’t exist but I see him coming forward like a stallion in the mist he will be tall and handsome majestic as a sword he will be very funny abs like a washboard my ex-lover’s new man will know his right from wrong and it will be clear the two of you were meant to be together all along I would walk you down the aisle If you asked me to I still love you like a prisoner loves the date his freedom’s due my ex-lover, you had a finger on my pulse I love you like the memory of every lover’s curse you tie it all together light the path for me ahead I would have done anything for you I’m lucky, I should be dead my ex’s new lover will pick up where I left off he’ll be healthy as a racehorse except for a little cough I would heal him if I could but that’s outside of my control good thing my ex’s new lover has an undying vagrant soul he’ll be chasing you forever from this life to the next you’ll never know a touch of boredom but nor will you know any rest we all get what we are seeking in fact we often make it up I want to live free and easy tell my ex-new lover what’s up yeah we all get what we’re seeking some day, in not too long I hope your next lover loves you more than I could in this song I hope he loves you til your heart breaks and then it breaks again and I’ll see you on that fine day my ex lover, my new friend

happy independence day baby you’re free to do whatever you want break my heart or take it for granted but if you look for me I’ll be gone cuz I don’t take that shit no more learned the hard way what it’s good for and that’s nothing baby that’s nothing baby i know a good man he said to love and let go so I’m going to love and let go let go of your hand and love you i knew a good man he said he loved me I know but what he loved I don’t know cuz I was left all alone happy independence day baby you can learn to stand on your own this heart has legs it’s not used to using you can learn to sit on your throne happy independence day momma you know you’re the sword in the stone stop playing with these daisies like children take a stand, it’s time to be grown i had a good girl she liked to be on her own i liked that about her thought we could be together alone now i have a bad girl but she wants to be on her own thought i was so lucky was i just a dog with a bone happy independence day sweetheart i’ll be curled up on my own tending my own tender garden the sweetest i’ve ever grown happy independence day kitten you are the sweetest I’ve known pawing me gently with sharp claws well i’m sorry this bird has flown
