[Verse]
The dust was choking the light out of the sky
Bullets whispered secrets as they flew by
I held my ground but lost my way
[Chorus]
Why didn’t you leave me out there
On the battlefield
In the cold
In despair
Why did you bring me home
Just to leave me all alone
[Verse 2]
The silence here is louder than the war
A house ain’t a home when you don’t know what it’s for
I thought when you die for each other
That’s the deal
[Prechorus]
But this ghost in my chest
Keeps asking
Keeps asking
[Chorus]
Why didn’t you leave me out there
On the battlefield
In the cold
In despair
Why did you bring me home
Just to leave me all alone
[Bridge]
The medal on the shelf
It don’t talk back
The flag they folded
It don’t fill the cracks
I’m marching through memories
Can’t find the track
