Soldier

Tried my best to tell you the truth
When everything is hanging on you
To give it away
It feels like time has dealt you a hand
And nobody else can understand
Or that’s what you say
You’re acting like there’s a place you can
Materialise in the back of your head
Out of the way
And you keep telling yourself you’re a soldier
And it’ll be there (and it’ll be there)
Oh, I gotta tell you (you're a soldier)
That it’ll be there, and it’ll be there when you start
Caught up in the thick of it all
And holding back from making the call
Well how would you know?
You’re just so tired of hanging around
It took too long to figure it out
With nothing to show
You’re acting like you’re a different man
It used to be in the palm of your hand
Where did it go?
And you keep telling yourself you’re a soldier
And it’ll be there (and it’ll be there)
Oh, I gotta tell you (you're a soldier)
That it’ll be there, and it’ll be there when you start
Oh, you’re a soldier
And it’ll be there (and it’ll be there)
Oh, I gotta tell you (you're a soldier)
That it’ll be there, and it’ll be there when you start
