I'm lying here beside you in someone else's bed Knowing what we're doing's wrong But better left unsaid Your breathing sounds like screaming It's all that I can stand His ring is on your finger But my heart is in your hands Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet But it's just the wind that's blowing through those secrets that we keep Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned Why don't you talk to me? ('Cause I'm too blind to see) Why don't you look at me? ('Cause I'm afraid to breathe) What do you want from me? (All that I can stand) The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know My soul is damned Don't worry I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name And if you see me on the streets, don't wave, just walk away Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fade Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes

My mama told me When I was younger You better speak up Don't be a number My daddy told me When it was thunder Go be the lighting Don't run for cover Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're all just looking For a place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down walls The space between us Is getting wider We need this bar to Light the fire Show me the promise Give me some dealing There's too much hurting We need some healing Who's gonna help the helpless? Sometimes we're all alone These days, we're one step closer To that place that we call home Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls I remember when the world was smaller And we both felt ten feet taller Now we can't climb over And you can't go round Build them up We'll tear them down Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges And tear down walls These walls Are the mountains that we climb These walls Are the great divide Brick by brick Gonna watch them fall Build more bridges Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down these walls These walls These walls These walls Tear down walls

I was born to be of service Camp Lejeune just felt like home I had honor, I found purpose Sir, yes, sir That's what I know They sent us to a place I never heard of weeks before When you're nineteen, it ain't hard to sleep In the desert on God's floor Close your eyes, stop counting sheep You hear them bootcamp anymore We were taught to shoot our rifles Then in one, then side by side Thought we'd be made as liberators In a thousand year old fight I got this painful ringing in my ear From an IED last night But no lead light humvee war machine, could save my sargeants life Three more soldiers, six civilians Need these words to come out right God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken It's 18 months now, I've been stateside With this medal on my chest But there are things I can't remember And there are things I won't forget I lie awake at night with dreams of devils shouldn't see I wanna scream, but I can't breathe And Christ, I am sweating through these sheets Where's my brothers? Where's my country? Where's my how things used to be? God of mercy, God of light Seek your children from this life Here these words, this humble plea For I have seen the suffering And with this prayer I'm hoping That we, can be unbroken My service dogs done more for me Then the medication would There ain't no angel that is coming to save me But even if they could Today, 22, would die from suicide Just like yesterday, they're gone I live my life for each tomorrow So their memories will live on Once we were boys, and we were strangers Now we're brothers and we're men Someday you'll ask me, was it worth it to be of service in the end? Well, the blessing, and the curses, yeah, I'd do it all again Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh Whoa-oh (Whoa)
