My Country

Verse 1
I grew up here, I believed every word you said,
You promised us freedom, a life we could’ve led.
I loved your streets, the sunrise in your skies,
But now all that’s left is just shadows and lies.

Chorus
And I scream until my voice gives out,
My country feels like a heart that won’t beat now.
I tear down the flags, I cry over the past,
I still love you, but this love just can’t last.

Verse 2
You said, “We’re strong, we’re one family,”
So why’s it feel so cold when you’re not with me?
You burned my dreams, blew out all my lights,
And now I’m lost alone in the night.

Chorus
And I scream until my voice gives out,
My country feels like a heart that won’t beat now.
I tear down the flags, I cry over the past,
I still love you, but this love just can’t last.

Bridge
I’m not your enemy — I’m part of your soul,
But every day, you break me, leaving me cold.
Tell me straight: why should I stay alive,
When you won’t even let my love survive?

Chorus
And I scream until my voice gives out,
My country’s like a home burning down.
I tear down the flags, I cry over the past,
I still love you, but this love just can’t last.
