Wishlist – Like A Soldier lyrics

Like a soldier unaware that the war was over
I marched my way past a four-leaf clover

Unknowingly put you through
The worst of what I had been through
Maybe just to see what it's like
To be on the other side

I passed it on, I passed up our shot and now you're gone
Standing strong, but standing alone nothing's won
Casting long shadows, our day had just begun
Said and done, my happiness sets with the sun

Just to know you once again, my departed mistress
I'd shelf my pride, provide a heart less listless

Constantly I carry along
hope there is no right or wrong
Reversed roles left you at a loss
Re-empowered, but whats the cost?
