I'm America's sweetheart tryna get away,
You make it hard to leave but it's easier for me to stay
Boy Im so afraid
And Ive had it up to here, with the fighting, baby we're not
Fooling anyone these days
I don't wanna stray, but boy Im so afraid
But it's not love that keeps me here
And it's not what you want to hear
So Im going back to Santa Monica, New York to LA
Never coming back boy no matter what you do or say
'cause Im so afraid
And I, had it up to here with the panic and the fear
Theres nothing in your heart, thought that I could make you change
Im so afraid
But it's not love that keeps me here
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 dreamin', I meant I never knew his place
Theres no easy way, to come back from where you came
But it's not love that keeps me here
And it's not what you want to here
So baby now Im going back to Santa Monica, New York to LA
Never coming back boy no matter what you do or say
'cause Im so afraid
And I, had it up to here with the panic and the fear
Theres nothing in your heart, boy I thought that I could make you change
Im so afraid
And its not love, its just the fear
Boy you've been down
for all these years
But Im leaving now
Im going, back to Santa Monica, New York to LA
Never coming back boy no matter what you do or say
I am done being afraid
Well I've, had it up to here with the panic and the fear
Theres nothing in your heart, thought that I could make you change
Im so afraid
Oh it's not love that keeps me here
Its not love that keeps me here
I am done being afraid
I am done being afraid
Oh-oh-oh
