   Well I've been down before
   Held back behind closed doors
   Well I've seen love a time or two
   And if it ever comes my way
   I'll know just what to do
   Grab ahold and never let it go
   I'm going to keep it with me
   Burry it deep within my soul
   Another time it became too clear
   I had to leave too soon and watch it disappear

   Time went, I had to go to war
   Carried a gun,fired it on a alien shore
   Made my trip back across the sea
   Came back to my home
   What I thought was my family
   But now I'm here and they all seem so strange
   Like Boy, Where you been and what the hell was your name
   I think I knew but it's too late now
   I should have stayed there
   And made a life somehow

I love this lines.

Time went, I had to go to war
   Carried a gun,fired it on a alien shore
   Made my trip back across the sea
   Came back to my home
   What I thought was my family

Great work. Simply superb.
