I just want to make you proud,
I want to see you smile when I be myself,
Not doubt and cry over my mistakes,
I'm sorry about all the things I have done.
You deserve so much more than that,
Call me much too empathetic but, I love you.

Charge me of treason,
Send me over enemy lines,
I'll fight for you,
Until the light dies from my eyes,
Maybe I am just too loyal,
But no matter how much you twist my heart,
I still hold my gun high.

Lines across the corners of your eyes,
Count how many times we've laughed,
And like the silver lining of the clouds,
Your hair grays out but that only proves your times passed,
And I know that you've been through enough.

The war continues to wage and I'm stuck up-front,
It's becoming crowded,
All the dying ones,
I want to help, oh god, I do,
But the way I have to surge forward for you,
You're the only one on my mind,
The one I need to hold onto dearly.

Charge me of treason,
Send me over enemy lines,
I'll fight for you,
Until the light dies from my eyes,
Maybe I am just too loyal,
But no matter how much you twist my heart,
I still hold my gun high.
Just for you.
