lyrics

it’s not till you get home till everything falls apart
not till you're alone till you can see what’s inside your heart
I was scared to come back from Iraq
thought I might hurt someone I love
it’s been a struggle
it’s still a struggle


i didn’t know it was a school
when I called the air strike in
press just said we bombed some kids
what kind of monster uses kids as cover
it’s been a struggle
it’s still a struggle


I went to a wedding of a friend of mine
Hard to be around strangers had a rough time
Who do you trust i still carry around that dust
It’s been a struggle
It’s still a struggle

Took fourteen years before I talked to my wife
Somewhere it was ingrained in me grown men don’t cry
She remembers who i was
But my kids will never know
It’s been a struggle
It’s still a struggle

I understand now I gotta build new dreams
And I wanna be there for the ones that have been there for me
Can’t dwell on the past time to look to the future
It’s been a struggle
It's still a struggle
