Please don’t hate me when I go,

I never wanted to be your sorrow.

I just hope you’ll understand someday,

That I loved you... I just couldn’t stay.

A thousand words in my mind.

How to say goodbye,

Without sounding like a lie?

Guess it’s my breaking point.

I’m tired of living in a world I disappoint.

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Faces in the dark when I close my eyes,

All the laughter that I’ll leave behind.

There’s no more you could’ve done,

I was already gone.

I keep imagining your voice when you hear I’m gone,

Will you curse my name or blame yourself for what went wrong?

I swear I never meant to leave a scar on your heart,

I just didn’t know how to keep myself from falling apart.

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

I’m scared you’ll think I didn’t try,

That I gave up without a fight.

I know how many nights I stayed,

Just so you wouldn’t feel betrayed.

I’d carve it in the sky:

You were the light,

in all the nights I wished I’d die.

Don’t let me pull you down,

Live the life I couldn’t....

Even if I’m not around!!!!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!

Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up and down again --

There's no discharge in the war!
