If you could go back, what would you change
|
What would you do again ever would remain the same
|
What would you give, and what would you keep
|
What would you take, and what would you leave

[Verse 1:]
|
I see an old lady holding the door
|
As I tumble out my wheel chair and roll to the floor
|
First thing in the morning in the grocery store
|
Not sure if this alcoholics body can hold me no more
|
I hustled up enough change for the whiskey in my hand
|
Tried to tell all the people but they didn't understand
|
Too many years spent sleeping in the gutters
|
On my hands and on my knees, eating from the rubbish
|
Roam the streets with very little keeping me sane
|
Too many twisted visions left engraved deep in my brain
|
Nightmares are right there and I don't think good thoughts
|
Happy memories became haze and days when I could walk
|
Make me hate those that have a life and could stand
|
Do you people know what I sacrificed for this land
|
My aching heart can't feel the bladed glass in my feet
|
Don't take a glance cause I'm just a face you pass in the street
|

[Verse 2:]
|
Evicted from my home couldn't scrape up the right rent
|
No heat in there all I had was the lights left
|
Spent months eating sleeping shitting in my mess
|
Thinking back to when my wife left, I was quite stressed
|
Guess all my addictions had got the best of me
|
Sometimes I wish to change my fate or was it destiny
|
Look up to the sky on rough nights wondering why
|
I saw our baby girl pass in front of my eyes
|
Before it the thought of it tortured me
|
Only lived six days was born with deformities
|
Still the birth really filled me with joy
|
Even though I kinda hoped it would still be a boy
|
I was dealing with demons I carried with me daily
|
Wanted to carry on my name when I had the little baby
|
Thinking in deep ways til my soul is torn
|
Of the bitter sweet day I came home from war
|

[Verse 3:]
|
I roll out the hospital on honorable discharge
|
I looked down saw my body with horrible big scars
|
Brave face but it was bad at night I would break down
|
I woke up and I was paralyzed from the waist down
|
Was in a coma for a few weeks before I closed my eyes
|
I was just another soldier with two feet
|
On all type of drugs that set me higher
|
Shot by my comrade official name friendly fire
|
Everyone was screaming but I only heard her
|
And everyone was crying but I only heard her
|
As I looked down to what I had done
|
I had a split second to contemplate what I had become
|
Like it or not trained to kill like it was a job
|
Wild or not she was just a child with a rock
|
Threat in my eye and the power in my left hand
|
I swear my finger slipped and then the trigger went bang...
