Stephen Kellogg - The America Song Lyrics

Well I live in America
And here is how it lies
It seems that underneath my pillow
Are all these plans that got passed by
She said it'd be all right
If I had to walk away
And that the greatest view was from the edge
It had always been that way

And I'm becoming, beautiful
And it's so much harder than I thought
'Cause it only feels like I'm losing now
I guess I'll understand someday.

As she opens up her pain becomes serene
If I could slip my vanity
That's how I'd like to be.
Cause I'm staring at myself
As I am staring out there at the earth
It seems so unfamiliar
The way that things once were

And I'm becoming, beautiful
It's just been so much harder than I thought
'Cause it only feels like I'm losing now
I guess I'll understand someday.

If I could be alone
If I could be with you
I would stop appointing blame
Even though it's true
And even though I've said it,
It still feels like I'm just losing anyway
And I sometimes have regretted it
But I never ran away

Cause I'm becoming, beautiful
and it's been 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'll know
And if you feel like you're losing now,
I guess we'll understand someday
