Love and War
Before bed, I'd read them the letters
Though they could not understand
I seem to hear your voice coming through them
Oh, I was so excited to see you
And knew what I was gonna wear
Picked my outfit out for months before
Lord help me, I've tried
Tried to stand before you
But you're not of the same mind
That carried me to our bed
And I look so hard right at you
For some sign that you're coming back
I went to fight, gave it all I could
For the common man, for the common good
But what I actually did was unspeakable
The man I was is far from sight
Too many wrongs can't make a right
I don't want to ruin your memory of me
God help me, I've tried
Tried to stay alive
For the sake of my bride
And the wee ones at home
But now I can't shut my eyes
Because then I see it all again
God save me, I've tried
Tried to relieve you
I left the rope tied
And the chair in the corner by my bed
I don't want to live, but I can't leave you
So here I am
Though they could not understand
I seem to hear your voice coming through them
Oh, I was so excited to see you
And knew what I was gonna wear
Picked my outfit out for months before
Lord help me, I've tried
Tried to stand before you
But you're not of the same mind
That carried me to our bed
And I look so hard right at you
For some sign that you're coming back
I went to fight, gave it all I could
For the common man, for the common good
But what I actually did was unspeakable
The man I was is far from sight
Too many wrongs can't make a right
I don't want to ruin your memory of me
God help me, I've tried
Tried to stay alive
For the sake of my bride
And the wee ones at home
But now I can't shut my eyes
Because then I see it all again
God save me, I've tried
Tried to relieve you
I left the rope tied
And the chair in the corner by my bed
I don't want to live, but I can't leave you
So here I am
