Lone soldier
Lone soldier
Little girl, be a fighter
Face the world, it's survival
That's the only way, only way up
The only way, only way up, oh-ah
Fight your battles
Only you can show them you deserve the medal
Thick skin, don't show them your emotions
That's the only way, only way up, oh-ah
Did your Mumma hide you from the truth?
Did your Daddy leave you at the blue?
Well, there's nothing left to lose
Better toughen up or walk away
Before the darkness takes the day, yeah
It always falls on you
Oh, lone soldier
We don't talk in love, no more, soldier
But we're fighting the same war, soldier, yeah
Why don't you come in from the cold
It's better than alone
Brace face 'cause you know there's no protection
No safe place from the sinister intentions
'Cause we're living in a world full of deception
I don't wanna be another weapon, no
Lord have mercy on my soul
Guide me to a place I know
Been running like a criminal
Oh, lone soldier
We don't talk in love, no more, soldier
But we're fighting the same war, soldier, yeah
Why don't you come in from the cold
It's better than alone, alone
Sideways (yeah, alone)
I've been falling sideways (oh-uh, yeah)
I've been falling sideways, then back, then forward
I've been on my knees with blood, sweat, no family
I've been on my knees, so fuck this
I've been falling sideways, then back, then forward
I've been on my knees with blood, sweat, no family
Oh, yeah, I've been a
Lone soldier, yeah
We don't talk in love, no more, soldier, yeah
But we're fighting the same war, soldier, yeah
Why don't you come in from the cold
It's better than, it's better than alone
Lone soldier, yeah
We don't talk in love, no more, soldier, yeah
But we're fighting the same war, soldier
Why don't you come in from the cold
It's better than, it's better than alone, uh-yeah
Soldier, soldier, soldier, soldier
(Ay, alone, alone, alone, uh-yeah)
I've been a lone soldier
I've been a lone soldier
