I don't have to tell you what I'm going through
I know you can see it for yourself
But in the early morning hours
In the darkness of this room
I've never been so desperate for your help
I still believe that you made me to be with her
Until the day I leave this world behind
Put on a pillow wet with tears
That still taste of angry words
I can't blame her if she's changed her mind
Chorus
Is she gone
You're the only one who knows
If the girl who's lying next to me
Has left me here alone
Is she gone
Is it too late to hear my prayers
I know that she's right there but
Is she gone
You've already blessed me more than I deserve
And we both know the sinner that I've been
So you don't owe me anything
And asking this takes nerve
But you saved us once
What more can you gain
Is she gone
You're the only one who knows
If the girl who's lying next to me
Has left me here alone
Is she gone
Is it too late to hear my prayers
I know that she's right there
But is she gone
She's the warmth of the sun in my world
And we both know I can't live without that girl
Is she gone
Oh, you're the only one who knows
If the girl who's lying next to me has left me here aloneIs she gone
Is it too late to hear my prayers
I know that she's right there
But is she gone
I know that she's right there
But is she goneShe comes out on Fridays every time
And stands out in a line
I could've been anyone she'd seen
She waits another week to fall apart,
she couldnt make another day
I wish it was anyone but me
I could've been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under her skin
American girls all weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle up to my hand
Making it feel so incredible
She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
Where she could keep everything from me
I could've been anyone you see
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
Little shiver shaking me everyday
But I could get this same thing anywhere
So if she goes away, well, it's alright and I'm ok
She said come back again tonight
and I said I might I might I might
She said well that's alright
If it's alright, it's alright with you
and it's alright if it's alright with me
I waited for an hour last Friday night, she never came around
She took almost everything from me
I'm goin' through my closets, tryin' on her clothes almost everyday
I could've been anyone you see
I wish it was anyone but me
There's nothin but pills and ashes under my skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
If I made you cry, please tell me why
I'll try again if you let me try
American girls are feathers and cream
Come into bed so edible
American girls, oh American girls
American girls, oh oh oh oh
American girls, oh American girls
American girls, oh oh oh oh
You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
Yeah, you made me cry<
