Lyric

Mom called me yesterday

I told her I was fine

Said the food ain't all that bad

Said I'm sleeping every night

She said, "Please take care of yourself"

I laughed and said, "I will"

Then the ground began to shake

And the whole damn world went still

What am I doing here?

Who am I fighting for?

They told me why a thousand times

I don't believe it anymore

I just wanna make it home

I just wanna see tomorrow

I don't wanna die out here

For a reason I don't know

Tell me what I'm dying for

Tell me who I'm dying for

Why the hell should I give my life?

Somebody tell me why

I'm losing my fucking mind

I don't know who I've become

If I ever make it out alive

Can I still make it home?

Yesterday you walked with me

You talked about your girl

Said you'd marry her someday

When we got back to the world

Now your boots are by the wall

But you're not coming back

And everybody tells me

"Don't think about it, pack."

Why you?

Why not me?

Why am I still breathing?

I close my eyes

I see your face

God, I can't stop seeing it

What am I doing here?

How much more can I take?

Every day I tell myself

Just make it through today

I just wanna make it home

I just wanna see tomorrow

I don't wanna die out here

For a reason I don't know

Tell me what I'm dying for

Tell me who I'm dying for

Why the hell should I give my life?

Somebody tell me why

I'm losing my fucking mind

I don't know who I've become

If I ever make it out alive

Can I still make it home?

I saw him through the smoke today

Just a shadow down the road

My finger on the trigger

His rifle pointed back

And for a second I wondered

Does he have a mother too?

Does somebody wait for him?

Does his phone have one last message

Saying, "Please come home again"?

Is he scared?

Is he shaking?

Does he wanna fucking run?

If we're both trying to make it home

Why am I aiming this gun?

WHAT AM I DYING FOR?

WHO AM I DYING FOR?

WHY AM I HERE?

WHY AM I HERE?

I CAN'T FUCKING THINK ANYMORE

Somebody tell me

Somebody tell me

Am I losing my mind?

If I walk away from this

Will I ever be alright?

I just wanna make it home

I just wanna see tomorrow

I wanna hear my mother's voice

Without pretending I'm alright

I wanna sit inside my room

I wanna sleep without the sound

I wanna close my eyes at night

Without seeing who's not around

I don't wanna be a hero

I don't wanna fucking die

I don't care who wins this war

I just wanna stay alive

Tell me what I'm dying for

Tell me who I'm dying for

No one answers anymore

If I make it through tonight

If I live to see the sun

Will the man who left for war

Be the man who makes it home?

Mom

I'm not okay

I just wanna come home
