Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I went to serve my country, to stand where honor calls,
Thought I'd be a hero, but I just built these walls.
The sand and smoke, the endless sky,
I saw my brothers fall, heard their last goodbye.
[Prechorus]
Now the nights are long, and the silence screams,
I’m haunted by faces that visit my dreams.
[Chorus]
I can't come back, no, I can't come back,
The man I was is under attack.
You see my face, but you don't see me,
I’m lost in a war that won’t set me free.
[Verse 2]
I walked through towns where hope had died,
Held trembling hands as mothers cried.
I carried more than I could bear,
Left pieces of my soul out there.
[Prechorus]
You say I’m home, but I’m still away,
A stranger in my own skin every day.
[Chorus]
I can't come back, no, I can't come back,
The road behind is cracked and black.
You look at me, but I’m not whole,
This uniform’s stitched to a shattered soul.

I went to serve my country, to do the honorable thing. I survived as my friends died beside me. I saw things no one should. I was changed forever, you'll never understand, I can't come back. Male
