[Verse]
The clock strikes loud like a drum in my chest
My boots are laced my courage dressed
A kiss goodbye but it lingers too long
This war calls me but it feels so wrong
[Prechorus]
Your shadow stays when I walk away
Your voice
It echoes
It makes me stay
[Chorus]
I’m a soldier with a battlefield heart
Torn in two when we’re worlds apart
The fight is out there but it’s in me too
‘Cause every step I take leads away from you
[Verse 2]
The stars align but they don’t light my way
Your picture folds but it doesn’t fade
The desert winds can’t erase your name
Each night I whisper it just the same
[Prechorus]
I’m a warrior but I’m just a man
Your love’s my weapon
My battle plan
[Chorus]
I’m a soldier with a battlefield heart
Torn in two when we’re worlds apart
The fight is out there but it’s in me too
‘Cause every step I take leads away from you
