American Spirit Lyrics

I could have given you the world, but the world was not enough
Not enough to get the truth so I had to call your bluff

So why can't I
Breathe when I
See you?

And why aren't you affected and why can't you admit you left it?

I don't know, don't know, don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's
Hard to pronounce
So why can't our love story have a happy ending for me?
I can't say, can't say, I can't say something nice so I won't say nothing
At all
So why can't our love story have a happy ending for

All the lonely hearts of the world are trying to get home (get home)
Doubt disappearing into the wind. I'm trying to get home

So why can't I
Breathe when I
See you?

I shouldn't have to explain something I never did 'cause I'll be the first
To admit

I don't know, don't know, don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's
Hard to pronounce
So why can't our love story have a happy ending for me
I can't say, can't say, I can't say something nice so I won't say nothing
At all
So why can't our love story have a happy ending for me?

There's an 18 wheel cement truck that's gonna crush every bone in your
Body.
OH!

(Instrumental)

I could have given you the world, but the world was not enough

I don't know, don't know, don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's
Hard to pronounce
So why can't our love story have a happy ending for me?
I can't say, I can't say something nice so I won't say nothing at all, no I
Won't say nothing at all, no I won't say nothing.
Have a happy ending for me, have a happy ending for me
