Where did I drive to
This isn't a place that I could call home anymore
I tried to believe you
But I can't convince myself that this is who I am at all
With all the heart I spent on you
I finally can see the truth
I'm just your soldier
Not your lover
I never asked why, you put me through this
All my dreams have been ignored
Cause I never thought I, would play second best to you
Always following your call
But you took everything you could
And I must have misunderstood
I'm just your soldier
Not your lover
With all the heart I spent on you
I finally can see the truth
I'm no more your soldier
And I won't fight for
You'd sell my soul and turn me
Into the sand beneath your feet
You'd let us all down if you could
Be the royal on your terms
I know what you are
And what you think you're worth
Higher than I could ever take you
Your head's in the stars
And you can't see for all the light
That I won't make this real
I never felt I was your king
No, did I ever mean a thing
Was I just your soldier, not your lover
With all the heart I spent on you
I finally can see the truth
I'm no more your soldier
And I won't fight for
You'd sell my soul and turn me
Into the sand beneath your feet
You'd let us all down if you could
Be the royal on your terms
I fought as your soldier, I gave you those years
I shielded your heartache, I caught all your tears
I marched and I battled, I sacrificed me
But this war is over and now I'm free
Now I'm free
You'd sell my soul and turn me
Into the sand beneath your feet
You'd let us all down if you could
Be the royal on your terms
Be the royal on your terms
Be the royal on your terms
