"I Hate Boston" lyrics - RENEE RAPP

I was just a tourist
You got to be a big hometown hero
Made you feel important
Still stuck in your high school yearbook

[Pre-Chorus:]
Why'd we have to cover so much ground?
You showed me around
As far as I'm concerned they should just burn
The whole city down

[Chorus:]
How'd you make me hate Boston?
It's not its fault that you don't love me
Had its charm, but it lost it
It's not its fault, just a casualty
And casual's the way you chose to leave

Hid me in your basement
God forbid, you're not the center of attention
Family confrontation
Probably started 'cause my name was mentioned

[Pre-Chorus:]
I heard your father's sleepin' on the couch
He sure got around
As far as I'm concerned they should just burn
The whole city down

[Chorus:]
How'd you make me hate Boston?
It's not its fault that you don't love me
Had its charm, but it lost it
It's not its fault, just a casualty
How'd you make me hate Boston?
The whole thing is haunted
How do you sleep?
Oh, when you held me hostage
You must be exhausted
Don't you miss me?

[Outro:]
And casual's the way you chose to leave
And you're all over every single street
