illScarlett - Life of a Soldier Lyrics

Complimentary "Life of a Soldier " Ringtone

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
