 Lyrics:
 
 It was on our 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
 Keeping this in
 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 and wrecked
 My hands covered in blood
 Scars on my skin
 I forgot how to feel
 Now I'm weak with deceit
 My skin is paper thin
 
 We get through this
 Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
 We go through this
 Over and over again
 
 I'd 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
 
 My American dream
 Wasn't ever to lie, steal and cheat
 He won't leave her for this
 What's the point?
 I wish they would die
 
 This was not a test
 This was all for real
