Lyrics
Intro
I always think to myself that if I was a soldier at war and I had to write a letter home to my loved ones, what would I write?
Hook
When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again, when you come home
Verse 1
When it rains it pours on my side
I feel like a boat about to capsize
My black eyes stay open
My heart stays on the dark side
Its like I'm in the devils ocean
I'm barely coping, fighting to stay alive
I saw a man take his last breathe before he died
I started thinking of the afterlife
And whether or not they'll be a better place on the other side
If that's right then its fine coz he's liberated
All parts of his body are emancipated
Although I'm aggravated and I've started to question my religion
I hope that there's an end to this beginning
Coz the world has secrets deeper than the ocean
Everybody knows but no words are ever spoken
I know you're crying while you read this alone
Your tears will run dry when I come home
(Hook)
Verse 2
When it rains it pours I know
It's like an old record playing that I've heard before
And as I kill another man, I question the war
Coz most of us are fighting but don't know what we're crying for
And they trick us by telling us that it's all worth it
The end justifies the means and its all perfect
But innocent bystanders are killed, I can't stand it
Politicians have double standards
They preach but never practice
Perhaps its, the greed, the hunger for wealth
To better themselves
They're at home, we're crying for help
And I don't think I'll make it alive but hope is all I have
The moment I see you again is what I wanna grab
And God has forsaken us, our tears have run dry
Coz where is he when all we see is smoke in the sky?
I know you're crying while you read this alone
Your tears will run dry when I come home
Verse 3
I saw you again, I knew just where you'd be
I'll stop this, real soon when you're back safe with me
(Hook)
