I've made you a slave to your second chances You're passing the blame to imperfect strangers I thought this was one of those true romances I suffered too long to foresee the dangers My country's at war and I know the feeling Embattled for years, no sign of victory I entered this conflict with best intentions But failed to reverse your tragic history In approaching the combat zone I had a feeling you weren't alone Behind enemy lines Your treacherous mission was classified Imagine my shock to learn I'd been drafted I've never been fond of accepting orders I'll follow them true if they're kindly crafted Engaging in battle across five borders My country's at war and I'm not protesting Domestic unrest leaves warlords resting I bled for your cause so I soon enlisted Now I regret our pact existed I'm awarded a purple heart It's really blackened and torn apart You gave me your word Allying with traitors is quite absurd Although the counterstrikes were covert I can assure you they truly hurt You broke my morale Inspired my pacifist rationale
