Maybe I should’ve worn my pink sweater To make myself look better, but I thought you knew Maybe I could’ve gotten there earlier I could’ve talked to another man than you
But it was you and you didn’t really seem to care Behind your desk [?] You’re just doing your job but it’s my life on the line And in the blink of an eye, you might have ruined it
America Why do you make it so hard? Why do you make it so hard? America [?] I just wanna be closer I just wanna be closer to you [?] sleep in you, sleep
My dream, my dream was crushed in a second You didn’t even give me a chance to tell you all about my family
My mother, my father, my sisters, I haven’t Seen them around, for an eternity You were my key to heaven, my ticket to the golden State, but instead, you ruined it
America Why do you make it so hard? Why do you make it so hard? America [?] I just wanna be closer I just wanna be closer to you [?] sleep in you, sleep
March 2020, coming back to Paris after 3 months in the United States of America I loved it, I found hope, strength I saw my family again, I found friends, freedom I found everything I’ve been looking for I applied for a visa, I decided that I’d leave everything behind me My friends, my life, everything that I had built, for a shot at a greater future My visa was approved, oh God, tears of joy Life hasn’t always been easy, and that was it Bye my friends, hello America
America Why do you make it so hard? Why do you make it so hard? America [?] I just wanna be closer I just wanna be closer to you
America Why do you make it so hard? Why do you make it so hard? America [?] I just wanna be closer I just wanna be closer to you
