Toy Soldiers”

(Verse 1)

It started with words, just lines in a song

Didn’t think anybody would take it this wrong

We were all cool, just doing our thing

Now it’s turning into something bigger than me

I see the tension every time that we speak

Like one wrong move and it all could just leak

I never wanted it to go this far

Now I’m watching everything fall apart

(Hook)

Now we’re marching like toy soldiers in a line

No one really knows the reason why

We keep fighting wars we didn’t plan

Losing pieces of who we are again

(Verse 2)

People keep talking, they’re feeding the flame

Turning small problems into something insane

And I tried to ignore it, tried to stay back

But it’s hard when they keep putting fuel on the track

I got love for the ones I once called my team

But this isn’t what loyalty’s supposed to mean

If it costs us everything just to be right

Then maybe it’s time that we step out the fight

(Hook)

Now we’re marching like toy soldiers in a line

No one really knows the reason why

We keep fighting wars we didn’t plan

Losing pieces of who we are again

(Bridge)

I’d rather take the blame than watch it explode

‘Cause once it’s out there, there’s no control

And I’ve seen how it ends, it don’t ever heal

Just a cycle of pain that keeps getting real

(Verse 3)

So I’m saying it now, I’m done with the war

I won’t be the reason we lose any more

If you feel the same, then lay it down too

‘Cause nobody wins when it’s me against you

(Outro)

Toy soldiers… falling again

But it don’t have to be like this in the end

I’ve seen how it ends when nobody lets go

One wrong step turns a bruise into a blow

And I ain’t tryna write another name in stone

Over something that was never worth the throne

Yeah, I got my pride, but it’s costing too much

‘Cause every burned bridge used to start with a touch

Now it’s all cold nights and a deafening silence

Built from a moment that turned into violence

I’m looking back now, like “what did we gain?”

Just a handful of anger and a lifetime of pain

So if I take the fall just to break this chain

Then I’ll carry that weight, let it fall on my name

⸻

(Outro / Epilog – ruhig, eindringlich)

If you’re hearing this… it ain’t too late

We can still walk away before it turns to hate

No more lines in the sand, no more taking sides

Just two broken roads we don’t have to ride

We ain’t soldiers… we don’t have to pretend

Every war can stop, it don’t have to end

With another loss, another scar to hold

We can choose right now… not to fall like toy soldiers
