You’re at home, I’m away
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

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.

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.

Verse 1:
Darling did you think that you and I would ever be
More than just kind of in between
Off and on, so much more than just a song
But the words they just keep flowing
As your unhappiness keeps growing
Is there anything that I can do ‘cause

I’d do anything for you

Chorus:
And I’m sorry
I don’t wanna hurt you this bad
Any way you wanna end this,
Tell me when you wanna have another try
I can be, anyone, anywhere, anytime!
Lend me your heart
And you can have mine.

Verse 2: (use the chords from the first verse)

And like a soldier, on a mission
I’ve seen things, keep me wishing
Maybe one day when the stars aline, well
You and I could shine alight
All the people who keep saying
Love is just a game worth playing
If my pain is all just injury then,
Someone send the nurse to see

(Repeat Chorus:)

Bridge:

When is forever and how long before you see?
Theres so much of me inside of you
so much of you in me.
Take my hand and we’ll overcome anything that’s in the way.
Is it love when its so easy to say

That I’m sorry
I don’t wanna hurt you this bad
Any way you wanna end this,
Tell me when you wanna have another try
I can be, anyone, anywhere, anytime!
Lend me your heart
