I Won't Pretend

Heat and cold, dirt and dust
I won't pretend to know
What is making your
Heart speeding so fast
I won't pretend to know
What's it like to hear
An rpg fucking blast
I won't pretend to know
What's in a desert storm
To hide behind a sand wall
in a town war torn
I won't pretend to know
What's it like to be on
an unknown road with hidden iedees
rocking even the toughest humvees
I won't pretend to know
What keeps you up at night
if it is what you saw
Through your red dot sight
Or the brothers next to you
dying in a bloody firefight
But one thing I do know
If I am next to you
I will always wipe your tears
Sweet hug and kiss away all
Of those unfamiliar fears
I will always hold you tight
In my arms and in my heart
No matter if it is day or night
I will always know how to
Love your body and mind
Cause, Marine, remember
This gal won't ever leave
Anyone she loves behind
