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
