The Defector

I got deployed

You seemed annoyed

I know you didn't wanna whine

Looked into your eyes

Kissed your brow

Told you everything would be fine

I wrote to you

Like you told me to

Seemed like a year had passed

The trenches made me doubt that we would last

I will admit

That just wasn't right

I know I quit

I was too tired to fight

And so just one kiss

Was an act of cowardice

Unconscientious objector

The Defector

Surrounded on the battlefield

My heart bean to falter

Jumped the gun

Fired the first shot

And left you at the altar

The last thing you said

Echoed in my head

I will admit

That just wasn't right

I know I quit

I was too tired to fight

If I go back I'll be tried for treason

So to fake my death is within reason

KIA

Call the funeral director

I'm the Defector

Just one kiss

Was an act of cowardice

Couldn't protect her

The Defector

I'm the Defector
