I’m breaking up with common sense cuz I’m trying to lose my mind
If you pick me up when you get around to it, then you’re a friend of mine
Cuz half of me is trying to start a little revolution
The other half is just trying to get by

Everywhere I look another piece of U.S. is scattered on the ground
And I’m an open book, but I tore the pages out where your name was found

Broken hearts in America
Brokenhearted in America
I wanna live in America
Broken hearted in America

It’s not you it’s me she said, and left my friends for dead
Went to hide behind another man
Oh my lady my liberty you trade my hope for currency
And you left your money on the bed

I was trying to settle down and leave the city
You were trying to settle up and leave me dry

Everywhere I look another piece of U.S. is scattered on the ground
And I’m an open book, but I tore the pages out where your name was found

Broken hearts in America
Brokenhearted in America
I wanna live in America
Broken hearted in America
