They all noticed something the day I lost you
They all noticed something about me, the day that I lost you
The Captian sat me down and questioned, I wouldn’t tell him but he knew
Eventually I bared my soul
I told him about you
The life we planned , everything
I’m dying with out you
That I promised myself I would never beg for someone in my life
But there I was, begging for you to stay by my side
I had to step away, embarrassed , because of the tears in my eyes
Firemen don’t show weakness, firemen don’t cry
“How do I turn it off Cap ?” I asked
“This life is why he’s gone. “
“ You will learn in time “ is all he said
He lost his love to this life too
“ Our world is harsh and scary, but one day the right one will stand by you”
“ you will learn not to talk so sharp, realize how values change. To us the littlest matters. The littlest is every day”
“ our word is all we have, we will give the world to those we love”
“ I’m not warm and fuzzy Cap” I say
“ I try but my heart is cold. I spoke sharp to the one I love and now I am all alone”
I told my Captain about you, but I had to walk and hide
Because of the tears in my eyes
firemen don’t cry.
