This Is Not America

Everlasting Yes

This Is Not America


Now love is the new black
Fake is the fool's track
Pretense is our best friend
And if there ever was a me
If there ever was a you
There's no doubt that this is where we end
And now you hear me screaming

I don't wanna do anything that will compromise me
I don't wanna do anything that will make me look bad
Don't criticise me
Don't ridicule me
Don't make a fool outta me

I couldn't wait another day
I couldn't wait for you to say that everlasting yes
I've had my back against the wall
But all this time I've stood tall
There's no getting me down

Cross my heart and hope to die
I never swore I wouldn't lie
But I made sure to blame my ways
And if there ever was a me
If there ever was a you
It was who we were back in those days
And now you hear me screaming

I don't wanna to do anything that will compromise me
I don't wanna to do anything that will make me look bad
Don't criticise me
Don't ridicule me
Don't make a fool outta me

I couldn't wait another day
I couldn't wait for you to say that everlasting yes
I've had my back against the wall
But all this time I've stood tall
There's no getting me down

I don't wanna to do anything that will compromise me
I don't wanna to do anything that will make me look bad

I couldn't wait another day
I couldn't wait for you to say that everlasting yes
I've had my back against the wall
But all this time I've stood tall
There's no getting me down

I couldn't wait another day
I couldn't wait for you to say that everlasting yes
I've had my back against the wall
But all this time I've stood tall
There's no getting me down
