Don't Include Me (American Dream)

Original

You got plans, you always have.

A little house, a cul-de-sac.

I promised you I'd try to give you that.

Christmas time, I'd hang the lights, but holidays would make you cry.

You said they would remind you of simple times.

I drive by the house, from what I can tell, now you're living there with somebody else.

Now I can see your American dream don't include me.

And I still see your mom and dad.

I wonder if they're angry at me, or maybe they just think you're better off.

And what if I went back in time and I let you win the little fights?

Oh, would it make a difference in the end?

I drive by the house, from what I can tell, now you're living there with somebody else.

Now I can see your American dream don't include me.

I can't look away while you fade in the mirror, but I see you're happier from here.

I turn on the highway 'cause it's only fair that you'd move on like I was never even there.

Even there, even there, even there.

I drive by the house, from what I can tell, now you're living there with somebody else.

Now I can see your American dream don't include me.
