[Verse 1]
I bury pain under pride
Hide my love in a lie
You put it all in the light, all in the light for me
Won't show my teeth when I smile
Hide the wind from the right
You put it all on the line, all on the line for me

[Chorus]
And when the war's over
You're still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I'm not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight by my side like a soldier

[Verse 2]
And I got you by my side
We can go left or go right
Sail with no harbor in sight
Harbor in sight, but we'll be alright
For you, I'll tell the truth and tell a lie
Be the alabi to your crime
I would put it all on the line, all on the line for you
[Chorus]
And when the war's over
You're still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I'm not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight by my side like a soldier
By my side like a soldier

[Chorus]
And when the war's over
You're still my soldier
Whenever the darkness is making me blind
And all of my scars are not healing with time
You're pulling me closer
Even when I'm not sober
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight by my side
And when the war's over (When the war's over)
You're still my soldier (You're still my soldier)
Whenever the darkness is making me blind (Making me blind)
And all of my scars are not healing with time (No)
You're pulling me closer (Closer)
Even when I'm not sober (No)
You are the one that is making me right
I know you'll fight by my side like a soldier
