Toy Soldier - Livingston

Follow the march of the battle drum

And bury the questions where they came from

Just pretend if I’m starting to regret it tomorrow

Killing it all

Push it back down every time but still I felt it rise from the trenches the

stolen happy endings I chased

Cause I can’t conquer this without you

These bullets still won’t get through

But I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through

I do this to myself every time

Cause that’s the only way that I surviv

So Cover up my flaws

And run when you hear my call in th night

Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older

Will you be there to stop my fall

I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes

So break down the lies cause I know that

I could never be the toy soldier

I followed our path, you became my home

Now artillery fire casts your shadow

Through the fragments that we lost

I traded love for fame, despite the cost

When did our love turn to sacrifice, I try

But these broken wings won’t fly

Without someone to make it right

I’ll leave the city just to make it back tonight

Cause I can’t conquer this without you

These bullets still won’t get through

But I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through

I do this to myself every time

Cause that’s the only way that I survive

So Cover up my flaws

And run when you hear my call in the night

Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older

Will you be there to stop my fall

I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes

So break down the lies cause I know that

I could never be the toy soldier

Act your age

Cause the world will not change

For a child with a cape

Your savior awaits

In the fields where you once learned that you could fly

Manhattan lights they spoke, they told you that all these things will come in

time

Ships in the night, they wrote, and they said that love shines auburn in the

night

Manhattan lights they spoke, they told you that all these things will come in

time

So don’t lose sight, you’ll change a life

You’ll change a life

So Cover up my flaws

And run when you hear my call in the night

Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older

Will you be there to stop my fall

I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes

So break down the lies cause I know that

I could never be the toy soldier
