Over the seas and far away
you have been taken away from me
to serve your country
to protect me you say
but three years are too long
to watch you die

I'm safe at home and tucked away
thoughts of you constantly in my head
its been two long months
and still no word from you
I've almost given up
and lost my hope

Last night I was with the new man
I almost forgot all about you
so when my phone rang
straight to voicemail it went
and this is what it said


unknown caller
The military doesn't leave messages

What does that mean, why did they call
I hope you aren’t hurt or anything
I am so worried
I can’t sleep, eat, or think
Because I am so scared
You might be gone

Does that mean that I lost your forever
Did you know I was with the new guy
I guess I was caught
I really do love you
Why won’t you call me back
I miss you babe

I sit by the phone now waiting
Just hoping that you will call me soon
Its been a month now
And you still haven’t called
I now know that

Unknown caller
The military doesn’t leave messages
