Lyrics:

In American Love the narrator expresses regret about ending a relationship with God and struggling to get back in it.
Exchanging beauty
For the ashes
Given my heart to
Nothing real
Exchanging beauty
For the ashes
Given my heart to
Nothing real

I've given my heart away
To so many things
So many times
I've failed
Help me stop
This endless
Cycle
Remind me
Of how it
Can be


Take me back
I surrender all
Without you
My heart is broken


I never should have let you go
I never should have let you
Slip through my arms
I never should have let you go
I never should have let you
Slip through my arms
(As the sun sets tonight)
I never should have let you go
(I'll hold you with all that I am)
I never should have let you
Slip through my arms
(As the sun sets tonight)
I never should have let you go
(I'll hold you with all that I am)
I never should have let you
Slip through my arms
(As the sun sets tonight)
I never should have let you go
(I'll hold you with all that I am)
I never should have let you
Slip through my arms
I never should've let you go

Promise me
You'll stay with me forever
(Forever)
I never should've let you go
Promise me
You'll stay with me forever
(Forever)
I never should've let you go
Promise me
You'll stay with me forever
(Forever)

Forgive me
For running
So quickly
To the outside
Forgive me
For running
So quickly to the outside
