Amy Allen - the american Lyrics

Spent the summer on my front doorstep
My street was named after a president
You'd hold me and roll your eyes
At my accent

One time you loved me in a parking lot
Got interrupted by a violent cop
You said this country's a lie,
You think ur free, and you're not
You used to read me like a line
Now I'm

Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then you talk about
It's breaking my heart
That's all I am to you nowadays
Just a phase,
The American

Give all my money just to hear your voice
My sisters said you were a shitty choice

You could be
Just up the street or as far as an asteroid

And every day that passes by
Oh I'm
A little smaller in your mind
That's right
A flower reaching for the light
That died

Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then u laugh about
It's breaking my heart that's all I am to u nowadays
Just a phase,
The american"
