"Letters Home" lyrics

"Letters Home"

So, I'm writing you this letter between rests
'Cause yesterday a bullet found my chest
And I don't got the energy to dress myself
And I can't walk without help

And I
I can't remember why I joined this war
And I can't tell you what we're fighting for
I guess I wasn't smart enough to see the game
And that no one's keeping score

And now, you would not believe the things I miss
It's all the little things that fill that list
Like playing with the dogs
And helping father chop the wood behind the fence

Now I
I'm not sure if I'll see another day
The doctor said it could go either way
But I just wanted you to know
No matter if I sink or fall or blink out in this hospital
That I'm alright
Yeah, I made peace with it all
Mistakes and all

Mistakes and all
Mistakes and all
Mistakes and all
Mistakes and all
