Lyrics
I tried to be the perfect soldier
I made an effort to conform perfectly to expectations or orders.
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
I attempted to fulfill what society or others anticipated of me.
Somehow I was selected
I found myself chosen or picked for a certain role or duty.
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
I was skilled and accurate in my actions.
But deep inside of my heart I knew
Despite external success, I had an internal feeling that I lacked something.
That I lacked the will
I lacked the determination or resolve necessary for a particular action.
I just couldn't shoot to kill
I couldn't bring myself to harm or take someone's life.
And still she treats me like a human
Despite my imperfections, she treats me with kindness and understanding.
She says she'll still be there
She assures me of her ongoing support.
I may not be a hero, but I'll be there
I might not achieve greatness, but I will be there for her.
'Cause I know she cares
I am aware of her care and concern for me.
I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I endeavored to become the best romantic partner.
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
I wanted to ensure I was the sole romantic interest in her life.
That's how I thought it was done
That's how I thought relationships were supposed to work.
But I went too far, assumed too much
I crossed boundaries and made assumptions.
The need to feel a younger one's touch
I felt a need for the touch or attention of someone younger.
Seemed important then
At that time, it seemed like a significant need.
Oh what a fool I've been
I now realize my foolishness in my actions.
And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
Despite my mistakes, she treats me with compassion.
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
She reaffirms her commitment to stand by me.
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
I struggle to comprehend her fairness considering my actions.
'Cause somehow she cares
Nevertheless, she genuinely cares for me.
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
This is often how life progresses, without clear explanations.
And nobody knows what compels her
No one truly understands what motivates her to act this way.
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go (never let go)
She has been with me through my successes and failures.
Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
Despite my flaws, she treats me with humanity.
She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)
She reassures me of her continuous support.
I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair
I find it challenging to grasp her fairness in her treatment.
'Cause somehow she cares
However, her caring nature persists.
I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes
Life often unfolds without clear reasoning.
And nobody knows what compels her
There's no definite understanding of what drives her actions.
She's seen my highs and lows and never let go
She has stood by me despite my highs and lows.
And when the world has turned its back on me
Even if the world abandons me, she'll be there for me.
I won't have to feel alone 'cause I know she cares
I won't feel deserted because I know she cares.
Oh oh I know she cares
I am certain of her genuine care.
Uh uh and that's the way it goes oh oh
This is the way life unfolds, and she cares despite it all.
I said, oh oh oh the way it goes
Life unfolds in its unpredictable manner.
I said, oh oh oh way it goes
Life progresses in its own way.
Oh oh oh
Repetition emphasizing the unpredictability of life.
