Section One

Rejection feels like being dragged underwater

I fought so hard for you

In my heart I knew the truth

And my heart was never made

For enduring so much pain

Just because I’m fragile

Doesn’t mean that I will break

Bridge

Call me a deserter

But all you do is hurt

You’re ungrateful and your morals lie

Trodden in the dirt

Chorus

It’s not hard to abandon all that I hoped for

‘Cause you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

All you were was a burden on my shoulder

Now you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

Section Two

I cared about your problems

When I had my own

I supported from the sidelines

And got nothing in return

Thing is I would have settled

For being your reserve

But as far as you’re concerned

That’s more than I am worth

Just know I never want you now

Not if you put me first

Bridge

Call me a deserter

But all you do is hurt

You’re ungrateful and your morals lie

Trodden in the dirt

Chorus

It’s not hard to abandon all that I hoped for

‘Cause you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

All you were was a burden on my shoulder

Now you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

Section Three

I’ve followed you so far

But you don’t want me on your team

People laughed at me

Some warned me

Some pitied me

Some pointed

It’s never too late, I’m proud to be the renegade

And I’ll hold my head up high if I see them again

Chorus

It’s not hard to abandon all that I hoped for

‘Cause you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

All you were was a burden on my shoulder

Now you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war

Now you’ve got one less soldier

And I’ve got one less war
