Lyrics

Give my jewelry to the army
My silverware and jeans
Give my love to your family
Tell them anything
Give yourself to anyone
Give yourself away
Don't be a nightingale
For anyone's space to fill
If I could, I'd be your star again
Fall across your falling sky
ย
It takes a lot of little rain
To make you feel like nothing
Anything, anything you care to do
Do to me for everything I did for you
Nothing
I didn't try to take your love away
I just never knew I had it
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me want you
American
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me leave you
American
American Mary
If you kiss me, kiss me with your silver eyes
Don't look at me like someone you don't recognize
I didn't try to do this
Your arms around my shoulder blades
Are useless
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me want you
American
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me leave you
American
