He is lost and unsure
His well of pain hides behind joy
They see the smile, feel the laughter so sweet
Wait, who is he?
Hugs all around
A kiss for his girl
The embraces are magic
Wait, who is he?
Life is hard
Nothing is the same
No one to turn to
Wait, who am I?
Living in a bottle
Helps the pain but not the dreams
The girl is gone
Wait, who am I?
His face lights up
His words make them cringe
No one understands
Wait, who is he?
His life moves on
They wish he'd let it out
He won't talk again
Wait, who is he?
No longer in a bottle, new buzz to kill the dreams
He's by God gonna make it
Life is getting better
Wait, who am I?
They sent their boy off to war
And never saw him again
This is what came back
Fuck! Who am I?
