Watching Silently

Saying goodbye never seemed so tough
Formulate ways to not be wrong
Wearing this burden on my own
Sanity might be lost in the fight
Somehow the screams seem louder tonight
Don't know if things will be alright

Sent away to protect
Freedoms in jeopardy
With all of the loved ones watching silently
Sent away to protect
Violence is gripping me
With all of the loved ones watching silently

I'm writing this letter to let you know
I feel like I might be letting go
Wish I was with you back at home
Send my regards to everyone
I'll miss them with all my heart
And it's tearing me apart
Sanity might be lost in the fight
Somehow the screams seem louder tonight
Don't know if things will be alright

Sent away to protect
Freedoms in jeopardy
With all of the loved ones watching silently
Sent away to protect
Violence is gripping me
With all of the loved ones watching silently

Nobody wants to be alone
Nobody wants to fight alone
Nobody wants to be alone
Nobody wants to fight alone

Sent away to protect
Freedoms in jeopardy
With all of the loved ones watching silently
Sent away to protect
Violence is gripping me
With all of the loved ones watching silently
