My thoughts are pollution, my heart is unclear
It's crazy I should think of you, when you were never really here
The past is an echo, the future unknown
Your promise is a whisper at the end of the telephone
Don't ever say, I told you so
When it comes to love, even saints can lose control
Knew you were lying, right from the start
I stayed around and let you tear my world apart
Beautifully cruel, that's all you are
And if I could, you know I'd break your American heart
These thoughts are ridiculous, there's nothing to hold
Why should I keep on searching, when the trace has gone cold
The past is a memory, the future a lie
Your love was an illusion that's waving goodbye
Don't ever say, I told you so (I told you so)
When it comes to love, even saints can lose control
Knew you were lying right from the start
I stayed around and let you tear my world apart
Beautifully cruel, (beautifully cruel) that's all you are
And if I could, you know, I'd break your American heart

We may search for answers, I don't know where to start
But if I could, you know I would break your American heart (American heart)
Break your American heart
Break your American heart
Your American heart
Knew you were lying, right from the start
I stayed around and let you tear my world apart
Beautifully cruel, (beautifully cruel) that's all you are
And if I could, you know I'd break your American heart
Your American heart
