And if all I can say

Is that this boy is still the same

It's the man inside that's changed

Front of the line but still behind

Seems like I'm trying way too hard

And like I haven't tried at all

Hard as stone but feeling all the weight

Feeling all the weight that's crushing me

When you come around

You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down

Lifting me up above the clouds



(Chorus)

I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over

Tomorrow is no guarantee

If I don't return from this life of a soldier

Don't you be crying for me.



Throw this all away

Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say

If I had the chance I'd do it all again

If I had the chance I'd do it all again

Racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure

Pushing you away so we can be together

Carry me today I'll carry you forever

Let's take a chance and we'll see if this won't last

Hard as a stone but feeling all the weight

Feeling all the weight that's crushing me

When you come around

You're like a little slice of heaven when I'm coming down

Lifting me up above the clouds.



(Chorus)

I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over

Tomorrow is no guarantee

If I don't return from this life of a soldier

Don't you be crying for me.



There's a car pulling up and the man who's inside

Takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie

It's nothing new cause he's done this before

She knew it as soon as he knocked on the door

Please someone please tell me I must be dreaming

What will I do oh, I just can't believe it

Taken away, oh he's

Taken away

Someone take me away

Someone take me away.



(Chorus)

I'll sleep tonight but the wars far from over

Tomorrow is no guarantee

If I don't return from this life of a soldier

Don't you be crying for me.



Nothing comes for free at least that's what they say

If I had the chance I'd do it all again
