THE AMERICAN LIFE LYRICS

"The Window"

I breathe out this discontent

Into lungs you've never met

Don't pretend

Hands across her chest

Doing things I never meant

Trade the promise that I made

For a moment that will fade

All the clothes are on the floor

Is there ever any reason why

We hurt the ones we love

Convictions knocking at the door

Is there ever any reason why

We always hurt the only ones we love

I'm clutching at guilty sheets

With strange eyes looking back at me

Don't do this

In this mirror I can see

The honest truth I can't believe

Living life with one regret

A selfish man so desperate

All the clothes are on the floor

Is there ever any reason why

We hurt the ones we love

Convictions knocking at the door

Is there ever any reason why

We always hurt the only ones we love

In this mirror I can see

The honest truth I can't believe

Living life with one regret

A selfish man so desperate

All the clothes are on the floor

Is there ever any reason why

We hurt the ones we love

Convictions knocking at the door

Is there ever any reason why

We always hurt the only ones we love

We always hurt the only ones we love...
