[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Hid me in your basement
God forbid, you're not the centre of attention
Family confrontation
Probably static 'cause my name was mentioned

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your father's sleepin' on the couch
You 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?
Knowing 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
