[Verse] I'm America's Sweetheart Trying to get away You make it hard to leave But it's easier for me to stay I am 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' stray Boy, I'm so afraid [Bridge] But it's not love that keeps me here And it's not what you want to hear [Chorus] 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 I could make you change I'm so afraid [Bridge] But it's not love that keeps me here [Verse] We were just teenagers when we fell in love Driving in your fast car Looking at the stars above But it was not enough [Verse] You should never come between A woman and her dreamin' A man that never knew his place There's no easy way To come back from where you came [Bridge] But it's not love that keeps me here And it's not what you want to hear [Chorus] So baby now 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 Thought I could make you change I'm so afraid [Bridge] And it's not love, it's just the fear That you've put down for all these years [Chorus] 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 But 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 [Outro] Oh, it's not love that keeps me here (x2) I'm done being afraid (x2)
