lyrics

You were the first girl I ever loved and the only home I've ever known.
You showed me where to pick my flowers from then you left me there all alone.
You said you've got the free world for me but that's a globe in a gated fence.
Then you locked me out in the streets and I swear I haven't seen you since.
My dear America I was in love with you.
You broke my heart so now we're f*cking through.
I don't wanna see your face again, no. My dear America.
You lift me up. You broke me down then you locked me up.
Then you blame it on somebody else. Well how could you...
My love, my love my love.
I use to see you every weekend, we'd fall asleep on your telephone.
Then I heard that you were creepin. Now you won't even return my calls.
I read the paper just the other day. You waged a war cuz someone beat you up.
Come to find out that was all a lie. Cause you- you started the fight first.
My dear America I was in love with you.
You broke my heart so now we're f*cking through.
I don't wanna see your face again, no. My dear America.
You lift me up. You broke me down then you locked me up.
Then you blame it on somebody else. Well how could you...
Well I thought we had something special.
Turns out it was nothing to you. Nothing Nothing to you.
You've got all these laws. But what are these laws for.
They protect you and all of yours. But what about us.
What about me and you. What on earth did I do.
My momma told me "to be on top you must stand on others with a ruthless heart."
And you've always been number one.
