I see the sun set down for the last time   Ripping at the core of my soul   The drugs and alcohol can’t displace where I fall (Oh yeah)   But I indulge anyway      I’ve got style and I have grace   But not enough to turn your face   A thousand miles and princess smile   Break me in the end   It’s hard for me to make this change   To stand alone out in the rain   To face my fears and taste my tears   Bitter memories      It’s an American tragedy (Oh yeah)   Now sit back and watch it burn      I’ve got style and I have grace   But not enough to turn your face   A thousand miles and princess smile   Break me in the end   It’s hard for me to make this change   To stand alone out in the rain   To face my fears and taste my tears   Bitter memories      With my eye’s open till the end   I let nothing define me   But if you knew my pain   Then you would feel the same   Way I do      Poison      I’ve got style and I have grace   But not enough to turn your face   A thousand miles and princess smile   Break me in the end   It’s hard for me to make this change   To stand alone out in the rain   To face my fears and taste my tears   Bitter memories      The great American tragedy
