We will part
We will move on
She's off to college
He's off to the Army
And here left behind I stand

We shared many laughs
We shared many tears
She held me as I wept
He fought for me when I bled
But alone now I stand

We were the bestest of friends
We loved each other greatly
She never betrayed me
He never left me
But now I stand alone holding broken promises

She's a mother and a wife
She works for her family
Fights for her life
Doesn't remember the broken friend she once said she loved

He's proud and a loyal soldier
He works hard for his country, works hard for his people
Fights to defend the nation be calls his home
Doesn't remember the lost soul he vowed to protect

I stand tall and angry with the promises I'm burdened with
I promised to never give in, promised to never give up
I fought for the “family” who I thought loved me;
Don't remember those unfaithful lies
Don't remember the day I chose to die
