His inspiration comes while he's sitting in bed
He's gotta leave now or he'll lose his head
The army is the only way
Or at least that is what they say
He's got so many things he's gotta do
He's gotta get back to loving you
He puts on his helmet and he laces his boots
He cocks his gun and prepares to shoot
He's got grand ideas of victory
But there's something there that he just can't see
There are so many thing he's gotta do
He's gotta get back to loving you
The enemy line is a firing squad
With yells and curses and prayers to God
Then someone fires a single shot
That's the moment that his life is lost
There are so many things he'll never do
He'll never get back to loving you
His sacrifice proved nothing to her
Her conscience faltered ever deterred
There are so many things she'd like to take back
But now he's gone and her heart is slack
There are so many things she said she'd do
And one was to never stop loving you
He's gotta leave now or he'll lose his head
The army is the only way
Or at least that is what they say
He's got so many things he's gotta do
He's gotta get back to loving you
He puts on his helmet and he laces his boots
He cocks his gun and prepares to shoot
He's got grand ideas of victory
But there's something there that he just can't see
There are so many thing he's gotta do
He's gotta get back to loving you
The enemy line is a firing squad
With yells and curses and prayers to God
Then someone fires a single shot
That's the moment that his life is lost
There are so many things he'll never do
He'll never get back to loving you
His sacrifice proved nothing to her
Her conscience faltered ever deterred
There are so many things she'd like to take back
But now he's gone and her heart is slack
There are so many things she said she'd do
And one was to never stop loving you

I wrote this song two or three years ago. It was originally a song about someone who was having troubles getting over a girl he thought didn't love him anymore, so he committed suicide. In the end the girl had always loved him and his suicide was the first time she realised it.
A bandmate at the time suggested I changed the lyrics because they were a little TOO dark for pop-punk, so I changed it to a song about someone who signs his life away to war because his home/love life isn't working out so well for him. Unfortunately, he ends up dying during the war. In the end, he still had feelings for a girl back home and she had feelings for him and his "sacrifice" brought those feelings to the forefront of her attention, even though it was too late.
