Don't leave

Soldiers in the army

I’ll never understand

Don’t go

I look at your chest

I don’t see your face

You are already gone

You are a stranger I used to know

Chorus:

How can I wait for you

If you used the word please

Looked at me with those eyes

I have to question your need

(x2)

With every breath I take

It’s one day closer

I know if I vowed

It would still be over

There’s no way to tell you

No, I’ll move on

It’s happened once before

With another man gone

CHORUS

I am the only one

Who has to see it end

You decide to change the world

I thought you were my friend

So as I count the months

Until August comes

I’m loving you more than ever

I guess now we’ll have some fun

CHORUS

It’s freeing to be free

It’s like I’m dead

In my thoughts I’m with you

You’ll be inside my head

And though my bed is empty

When I hear you say

I’m leaving in August

I die another day

CHORUS

CHORUS
