lyrics

I was lost inside me
A million miles away
But you brought me home
Gave me love when I needed it most
Do you know what you’ve done for me?

United States of nothing
But broken dreams and farmland
Cold empty nights
Playing songs I don’t believe anymore
But I know you believe in me

Shame on my wandering eyes
Forgive me my pride
I don’t deserve you
Still, you stay by my side

Do you know what you’ve done for me?

The road tells a clever lie
And it lured me inside
But somewhere in New York
The dream burst and died

I’m tired of flying
Always in the clouds
You pulled me down
Brought my feet back on the solid ground
Do you know what you’ve done for me?
Do you know what you’ve done for me, babe?
