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 war's 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 war's 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.      I'll sleep tonight but the war's 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 the say    If I had the chance I'd do it all again
