He's in Iraq now, I'm waiting for him to come home. Pls comment [bodytext] => I told you I love you, you told me you didn’t
You said you were leaving, and that was your reason
I want you to stay, but I want you to go
I want to have you my way, but I want you to grow
So you’re leaving in January, off to the marines
Stuck on a ship, packed like sardines
I hope you remember me, and dream of me at night
Cuz I’m crazy about you, you’re on my mind both day and night
You’re blind to see, how you’re torturing me
So I’m gonna let you go, and be whom you must be
