As the smoke subsides And the wreckage comes clear It's worse than I had thought So I wait things out here Just as you came along My heart stopped And I found I'd forgotten how to start it up again All the soldiers lined Now have raised their sites They've been told not to let you get close Or they'll shoot to kill I've been hurt before So they'll just make sure No one else can get over the bridge Or they'll fire at will When I feel alone start to get the urge to Send the troops back home But I just can't pull through If you managed to get inside It'd be too late to fight So I have to stop you now while I still can Wish I thought that this could work But it would just go sour I'm sure And so we don't all waste our time I'll end things now
