Little Soldiers

On the broken backs of all the words we spared

Like little soldiers in the trenches

It was a march we made towards ruin and despair

But we held hands all the while

I swear that I loved you

I swear that I loved you

I swear that I loved you

I swear, I swear

Beneath the table you would offer up my bones

And all the dogs would lick your fingers

And I dragged you through every room inside our home

But you still held me at night

I swear that you loved me

I swear that you loved me

I swear that you loved me

I swear, I swear

We didn't give up, we wouldn't dare surrender

It was an honest loss

Now the aftermath will ring with songs you've sung

All of our words sent home in boxes

I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown

But you were already gone

I'll swear that I loved you

I'll swear that I loved you

I'll swear that I loved you

I swear, I swear

I'll swear that I loved you

I'll swear that I loved you

I'll swear that I loved you

I swear, I swear
