Soldier

I can't say that I do
I can't say that I will
I can't say anything
Anymore

As you watch me leave
Do you relive the moment
In which I walked through the door

I could never imagine
Another person in your life
But yes it's happened
It hurts even more knowing your my wife

I can't fall back on violence
Because that isn't me
I can't fall back on yelling at you
Well because in my heart
It's you I still see

Infidelity hard to accept
Cheating is the same thing
Confused I won't buy
Goodbye there is the door

There is nothing you could say
That will express what we shared
You've thrown it away
How could you dare?

I stare you in the eyes
You look so confused
But what's the confusion
It's not a dream
It's the truth

I know it's been a year
Since I had to go
But there is no reason why
There is another man in my home

I showed up without notice
It's you I wanted to surprise
The surprise was for me
As I watched you make love to the other guy

I knew this was coming
That's why it was so hard to say goodbye
I knew I would lose you
To myself I did not lie

Im sorry I had to go
I wasn't throwing us away
You did it for us
Goodbye is all I have left to say.
