Paper Soldier

I’m a paper soldier 
Fighting in the rain
Praying for someone 

To shield me from the pain

Standing all alone

Without a raincoat on

Heart and soul 

Torn and tattered by the storm

We could’ve stood tall 

You could’ve stood by my side

We would’ve been strong

This should’ve been our fight

No matter the wrong 

We would’ve been all right

Now I’m a paper soldier

Standing in the rain

Praying for someone 

To shield me from the pain

Standing all alone 

Without a raincoat on

Heart and soul

Torn and tattered by the storm

 

I thought you understood 

But now I see you can’t 
You’re looking for a reason 
Where there is none 

And now I fight alone
