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 |
