I'm America's sweetheart
Trying to get away
You make it hard to leave
But it's easier
for me to stay
Why I'm so afraid
And I've had it up to
Here with the fighting
Baby we're not
Fooling anyone these days
I don't wanna stay
But I'm so afraid
But it's not love that
Keeps me here
And it's not
What you want to hear
So I'm going back
to Santa Monica
New York to L.A.
Never coming back boy
No matter
what you do or say
'Cause I'm so afraid
And I've had it up to here
With the panic
and the fear
There's nothing in your heart
Thought that I could
Make you change
But I'm so afraid
We were just teenagers
When we fell in love
Driving in your fast car
Looking at the stars above
But it was not enough
You should never come
Between a woman and her dream
And a man who never knew
his place
There's no easy way
To come back
from where you came
So I'm going back
to Santa Monica
New York to L.A.
Never coming back boy
No matter
what you do or say
'Cause I'm so afraid
But I've had it up to here
With the panic and the fear
Nothing in your heart
Boy I thought that
I could make you change
But I'm so afraid
And it's not love
It's just the fear
You've put down
For all these years
But I'm leaving now
I'm going back
to Santa Monica
New York to L.A.
Never coming back boy
No matter
what you do or say
I am done being afraid
And I've had it up to here
With the panic and the fear
There's nothing
in your heart
I thought that
I could make you change
But I'm so afraid
Oh it's not love that
Keeps me here
It's not love that
Keeps me here
I'm done being afraid
I am done being afraid
Oh oh oh
