Perfect American Girl

[Verse 1]
You were the perfect American girl
And I was a self-loathing asshole
You pray to Jesus so I gave it a whirl
Disguised in the valley of shadows

[Refrain]
But I'm getting bored of it
And you still think there's more to this

[Chorus]
But just for a minute
I swear I was changing my mind
I turned on the TV and I started to cry
I was buried alive
When I came up to heaven
You were passing me by

[Post-Chorus]
I'll never survive it
Though I'm trying
Our love lays there dying
I'm trying to revive it

[Verse 2]
I don't know if I'll ever bе ready
Waiting for the moment to takе me
The one-night stands the only thing steady
Soon enough going to break me

[Refrain]
But I'm getting bored of it
And you don't think that love exists

[Chorus]
But just for a minute
I swear that I felt so alive
I turned on the TV and I started to cry
I was lost in the tide
When I came up for air
Then you were passing me by

[Post-Chorus]
We'll never survive it
Though I'm trying
Our love lays there dying
I'm trying to revive it

[Outro]
And I know that it's too late
To be chasing down the feeling that I had with you
And I know that it's no fade
To be chasing down the feeling that I had with you
