The American Lie Lyrics by Call It Off

Lovers & Liars

2015

(One, two, three, four)
I've been burned to the ground
I was kicked while I’m down
Given up without a fight
I've been burned to the ground
I was kicked while I'm down
But it’s alright, it's alright, it's alright
So I went all the way
Just to get through the day
Figure out where I went wrong
Kept retracing my steps, don't recall what I said
And all that's left is this meaningless song
But it's all, all that I have
And I'll come, come out ahead
Trust me when I say we'll make it through
But it’s a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It’s a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie
When there’s nothing left
Boxes filled with regrets
And a bag of empathy
And just look what you've done
And how far you've come
And did it all on a minimum wage
But it's all, all that I have
And I’ll come, come out ahead
And trust me when I say we'll make it through
But it's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie
Just take your pick, they're all for sale
It's all in vain, it's bound to fail
They're all for sale
So darling, you know
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
