[Verse 1]
I was a soldier, I gave you all of me
You were my best friend and my loyalty
I was layin' there wounded, begging, "Please don't leave"
But you chose the easy way out; retreat

[Chorus]
I took a bullet for you, yes, I did
I fought a war I thought we could win
And I'd do it again
I'd do it again

[Verse 2]
Now that it's over, I got myself to blame
You didn't wanna hurt me but that won't stop the pain
I was laying there bleedin', wonderin' where you are
I guess we've grown too far apart

[Chorus]
I took a bullet for you, oh, yes, I did
I fought a war I thought we could win
And I'd do it again
I'd do it again

[Bridge]
In the middle of it all, helpless
Watch it fall down, the world we used to call our own
[Chorus]
I took a bullet for you, hey, yes, I did
I fought a war I thought we could win
And I'd do it again
I'd do it again
