The War After the War |
| Who’s gonna care for the ones who care for the ones who went to war? |
| There’s landmines in the living room and eggshells on the floor |
| I lost myself in the shadow of your honor and your pain |
| You stare out of the window as our dreams go down the drain |
| Invisible, the war after the war |
| I get no basic training, I get no purple heart |
| I’m supposed to carry on, I can’t fall apart |
| People look at you and thank you for the sacrifice you made |
| They look at me and smile and say I’m lucky you’re okay |
| Invisible, the war after the war |
| But I’m a soldier too, just like you |
| Serving something bigger than myself |
| And I serve unseen, caught in between |
| My pain and the pain of someone else |
| But I’m stronger than you think I am |
| I’m right here by your side |
| I am not your enemy, I don’t wanna fight |
| There’s no going back in time, I know you’re not the same |
| But you are not the only one for whom the world has changed |
| Invisible, the war after the war |
