I wrote you long ago hoping for a reply dropped at my door
Something to let me know that you're alive
Instead I get a folded flag dropped off by uniforms
And a yellow cab
I don't know what to say
I am lost and full of hate
Some nights I think about the time we spent and what it meant to me
Years of common hopes and dreams now fallen to the war
Instead I hear the righteous plans you were forced to conform
And get dressed to kill
I don't know who to blame
To give up, to put to shame
I'll still be waiting for you to come home
Knowing that I'll never see you walking through our door again
Hold my breath till my face turns black and blue
Darkness closes in
I won't forget you
I won't ever turn away
I dream about the time I wanted to believe
Now I'll never be the same
Something that I know just never goes away
Feeling left behind
I start to close myself away
