[Verse]
The clock is ticking
Boots by the door
Her tears fall heavy
They hit the floor
I can't stay
Though I wish I could
A duty calls
Misunderstood
[Prechorus]
The night is cold
The moon stands still
The world keeps turning against my will
[Chorus]
I’m leaving her
Leaving us
For a battle I don’t trust
Her hands on me
A final plea
"Come back to us
Come back to me"
I’ll fight the war
But lose my heart
This goodbye tears me apart
[Verse 2]
Her belly grows
A life inside
I feel like I’m leaving before I’ve tried
I kiss her lips
They taste like rain
A bittersweet mix of love and pain
[Prechorus]
The stars are dim
The road is black
I swear to her
I’ll make it back
[Chorus]
I’m leaving her
Leaving us
For a battle I don’t trust
Her hands on me
A final plea
"Come back to us
Come back to me"
I’ll fight the war
But lose my heart
This goodbye tears me apart
