Soldier

Wanna be there just in time
Wanna be your shining knight
Protect you like a soldier
I wanna be the first in line
Be the one to save your life
All I wanna do is hold you
But somebody shot you down
Right in the middle of a war outside
Words mean so little
When you've heard those lies
You need someone to make you believe
Make you believe, oh oh.
I will be your soldier
I'll, I’ll stand and fight until it’s over, oh
And if your heart is getting colder
You know I will always be your soldier
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And if your heart is getting colder
You know I will always be your soldier
You don’t have to hide your scars
I’ll be there when you fall apart
And fix you like a soldier, oh
You don’t have to go too far
Baby just lay down your arms
Now that the battle's over
But somebody shot you down
Right in the middle of a war outside
Words mean so little
When you've heard those lies
You need someone to make you believe
Make you believe, oh oh.
I will be your soldier
I'll, I’ll stand and fight until it’s over, oh
And if your heart is getting colder
You know I will always be your soldier
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And if your heart is getting colder
You know I will always be your soldier
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And if your heart is getting colder
You know I will always be your soldier.
Somebody shot you down
Right in the middle of a war outside
Words mean so little
When you've heard those lies
You need someone to make you believe
Make you believe
I will be your soldier (I will ooh)
I'll, I’ll stand and fight until it’s over (oh yeah)
And if your heart is getting colder (you know, you know)
You know I will always be your soldier (soldier)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And if your heart is getting colder (heart is getting colder)
You know I will always be your soldier (soldier, soldier)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (I will be your soldier)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (oh yeah)
And if your heart is getting colder (you know, you know)
You know I will always be your soldier
