American Dream Songtext

von Silverstein

„It was on your wedding day when my heart began to stray.
Never thought I’d make such a big mistake, throw my life away.
I’ve gone days without food I’ve went weeks without sleep, keeping this in.
I’ve got cuts I can’t close I’ve got wounds that won’t heal. It’s all your fault,
I’ve been shattered and wrecked my hands covered in blood, scars on my skin.
I forget how to feel, now I’m weak with deceit, my skin is paper thin.

We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in.
We go through this, over and over again.

I’d go years without tears in a life with no fear, a life without you.
Now I’m breaking my back as I cover my tracks.
My skin is paper thin once again.

We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in.
We go through this, over and over again.

I’ve gone days without food I’ve went weeks without sleep, keeping this in.
I’ve got cuts I can’t close I’ve got wounds that won’t heal. It’s all your fault.
My American Dream wasn’t ever to lie, steal and cheat.
He won’t leave her for this. What’s the point? I wish they would die.

We get through this feeling it, keeping it, holding it in.
We go through this, over and over again. [x2]“

This was not a test, this was all for real.
