I tried to be the perfect solider
I tried to be what everyone said
What was expected
Somehow I was selected

My hands were steady, my aim was true
But deep inside my heart I knew
That I lacked the will
I just couldn't shoot to kill

And still she treats me like a human
She says she'll still be there
I may not be a hero, but I'll be there
Because I know she cares

I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I wanted to be sure I was her only one
That's how I thought it was done

But I went too far, assumed too much
The need to feel a younger one's touch
Seemed important them
Oh what a fool I've been

And yet she treats me like a human
She says she'll still be there
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never lets go

And yet she treats me like a human
She says she'll still be there
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
She's seen my highs and lows and never lets go

And when the world has turned its back on me,
I won't have to feel alone
'Cause I know she cares
