It's the man inside that's changed
Throw this all away
Feeling all the weight that's crushing me
Tomorrow is no guarantee
I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over
Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say
If I don't return from this life of a soldier
Front of the line but still behind
When I'm coming down
You're like a little slice of heaven
Feeling all the weight that's crushing me
Nothing comes for free at least that's what the say
Someone take me away, someone take me away
Hard as a stone but feeling all the weight
Please someone please tell me I must be dreaming
Don't you be crying for me
She knew it as soon as he knocked on the door
If I don't return from this life of a soldier
And like I haven't tried at all
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
When you come around
Don't you be crying for me
Takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie
Racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure
Carry me today, I'll carry you forever
When I'm coming down, lifting me up above the clouds
Tomorrow is no guarantee
I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over
It's nothing new cause he's done this before
What will I do? Oh, I just can't believe it
When you come around, you're like a little slice of heaven
Hard as stone but feeling all the weight
Pushing you away so we can be together
I'll sleep tonight but the war's far from over
Taken away, oh, he's taken away
Don't you be crying for me
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
Seems like I'm trying way too hard
Lifting me up above the clouds
Tomorrow is no guarantee
There's a car pulling up and the man who's inside
Let's take a chance and we'll see if this won't last
If I don't return from this life of a soldier
