Chamber a round
And head for the door
Gathered the gear
And left my fear
Today is just another day
The things I forgot to say
Last night
After the fight
I still can’t believe
I just couldn’t see
Before the explosion
As everything went dark
As the dust settles
And the area is cleared
The words come to me
That I didn’t say last night
I love you
I always will
Don’t forget me
Always and forever
Any of them I could say
Now I never get the chance
As the flag is lowered
Atop my bodybag

Chamber a round
And head for the door
Gathered the gear
And left my fear
Today is just another day
The things I forgot to say
Last night
After the fight
I still can’t believe
I just couldn’t see
Before the explosion
As everything went dark
As the dust settles
And the area is cleared
The words come to me
That I didn’t say last night
I love you
I always will
Don’t forget me
Always and forever
Any of them I could say
Now I never get the chance
As the flag is lowered
Atop my bodybag
