American Heartache

Maybe I held too tight
Maybe I stayed too long
But I made my own decision

Maybe your feelings changed
Maybe you fought that feeling
I know I was there with you

So draw a line in the sand
With the barrel of a gun
And baby don’t you cross it
It started out like a light
You cut it out with a knife

This is an American heartache
This is an American heartache
The love we build, the love we tear down and break

I thought I was over this
I thought I had seen it all
But the end is just the beginning
I thought I would go my way
I thought I would break these chains
Now I stand here tongue tied and bleeding

So draw a line in the sand
With the barrel of a gun
And baby don’t you cross it
It started out like a light
You cut it out with a knife

This is an American heartache
This is an American heartache
The love we build, the love we tear down and break
This is an American heartache
