Verse 1

Goodbye, my love

The country is in need of me

And I heard there were signs for war

So I'm goin' overseas

So don't cry, my love

The skies above will cry for you

And I'll be safe so hold belief

I'll come back home for you

Chorus

So please tell me it's not true

After all the love I've given

You've found someone new

And oh, of all the things I've seen

The greatest tragedy

Oh you, you let it all slip away

But soon you'll find

Soon you'll find yeah

What you can't replace
