It was on a 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
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
My hand's covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
My skin is paper thin
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I 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've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
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 rise to your *DUNNO*
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We go through this
Over and over again
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real

It was on a 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
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
My hand's covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
My skin is paper thin
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I 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've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
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 rise to your *DUNNO*
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We go through this
Over and over again
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real

It was on a 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
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
My hand's covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
My skin is paper thin
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I 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've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
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 rise to your *DUNNO*
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We've gone through this
Over and over again
We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holding it and
We go through this
Over and over again
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
