Half of Her Heart

She remembers
Day he said goodbye
And her and the kids
Just stood there and cried
He got on the plane
And nothings been the same
She does what she can
To take it day by day

Wearing a smile for the children's sake
Trying to be strong
But it's hard to carry on

[Chorus]
When half of her heart is in iraq
The other half here at home
Misses him so bad
He sends all his love
But 'till he gets back
Half of her heart is in iraq

Shе gets all dressed up
Shе's goin' out tonight
With a younger man
Who has his father's eyes
A bittersweet date
Because it's her birthday
He says "I miss dad
And I know your heart breaks
Its just not right he's not here with you
But just keep holding on cause i know he's comin' home"

[Chorus]

She does all the chores so she stays in a hurry
Finds all kinds of time to sit and worry
Tries not to think of what he's going through
But what else can she do

[Chorus x2]
