Lost lovers of war

Men she never loved

They take her back

Call her their own

But her heart is somewhere else

Her mind is far away

She only thinks of days to come

When he'll be back 

Without his gun

She doesn't check the mail

For fear of the inevitable

But sends him letters

Of her deep love and passion

While kissing another man

She goes on dates

She holds their hands

But only she knows she'd rather be

With the other man

The one who told her

He had to leave

He had to fight for her

And our country

She didn't know when he'd be back

And couldn't be alone

So other men, she took their hands

And played them easily

But her heart wasn't in it

No one could tell

She knew she wasn't happy

With other men

But she knows no better

That the man that left really was

Her lover
