American Pompeii Lyrics

I try to imagine the best place I've been Can I go back again? Open my eyes, what was no longer exists I can't go back again
I like to pretend that nothing has changed And never went too far But it started to lose me like a four-hour movie I'd already seen
Holding onto my memory Of what this used to be Holding onto my memory of you
Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay Another lie but it makes me feel better Never as old as I was today, I'm gonna breakdown
In American Pompeii In American Pompeii Break myself just to live this way Never as old as I was today American Pompeii
Look in my eyes and see how sick I feel About what you've become Filthy and twisted like you never existed I know what you were
Your beauty forgotten under mountains of schism I don't want to climb Giving up my memory of what this used to be Giving up my memory of you
Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay Another lie but it makes me feel better Never as old as I was today, I'm gonna breakdown
In American Pompeii In American Pompeii Break myself just to live this way Never as old as I was today American Pompeii
Try to imagine the best place I've been Can I go back again? Open my eyes it just no longer exists I can¹t go back again
I¹m giving up my memory Of what this used to be Giving up my memory of you
