The America Song

Well I live in America
 And here is how it lies
 Underneath my pillow
 Are plans that God passed by
 She said it'd be all right
 If I had to walk away
 The greatest view is from the edge
 It's always been that way
 And I'm becoming, beautiful
 So much harder than I thought
 It only feels like losing now
 I guess I'll understand someday.
 She opens up her pain
 Becomes serene
 If I could slip this vanity
 That's how I'd like to be.
 Cause I'm staring at myself
 As I'm Staring at the earth
 It seems so unfamiliar
 The way that things once were
 And I'm becoming, beautiful
 So much harder than I thought
 It only feels like losing now
 I guess I'll understand someday.
 If I could be alone
 If I could be with you
 I would stop a point and blame
 Even though it's true
 And even though I said it,
 It feels like just like losing anyway
 And I sometimes half regretted it,
 But I never ran away
 Cause I'm becoming, beautiful
 So much harder than I thought
 It only feels like losing now
 I guess I'll understand someday.
 But if you're becoming beautiful,
 It's gonna be so much harder than you know
 Then if you feel like you're losing now,
 Then I guess I'll understand someday
 I'm told I'll understand someday
 She'll understand someday.
 I guess I'll understand someday.
