I'll make a soldier's decision to fly away
Load my gun, paint my face, call me misery
I can see the sky light up and the ground explode

Got my sights locked in, I can see you breathe
Then I watched you fall and somebody scream
It's the saddest thing when angels fly away

I can't be home tonight, I'll make it back, it's alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you

Got a badge for my scars just the other day
Wore it proud for the sake of my sanity
I could see the flames burn bright from the winding road

Like a haunting page from our history
Watched a young girl cry and her mother scream
It's the saddest thing when angels fly away

I can't be home tonight, I'll make it back, it's alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you
If you can't be strong tonight, love makes you sad, it's alright
No one could ever worry half as good as you
Half as good as you

I can't be home tonight, I'll make it back, it's alright
No one could ever love me half as good as you
You can't be strong tonight, love makes you sad, it's alright
No one could ever worry half as good as you
