So it seems this song is about my childhood growing up. Always being expected to act like a soldier. To have no feelings, not be upset, when you’re hurt just walk it off. Don’t be dramatic. But this song is meant to explain to my childhood that I’m still a human. I will be upset, it’s human nature....
(verse 1)
I'm not a lover, not a hater
I'm a soldier
I've fought through so many wars
My father never taught me how to love
He taught me how to hide behind closed doors
(chorus)
Keep marching soldier
Baby keep fighting
You sound so innocent
But you're hiding the truth by lying
'get up', 'get up'
That's not what I'm supposed to do
I am a human, and I'm meant to have
Feelings too
(verse 2)
You act as if you don't know what tears are
If I get hurt you say walk it off
I never wanted to live this way
People think I'm weird cause I react differently
When people die, I say it's a normal thing
And how it doesn't affect me
Now people are saying they're scared of me
(chorus)
Keep marching soldier
Baby keep fighting
You sound so innocent
But you're hiding the truth by lying
'get up', 'get up'
That's not what I'm supposed to do
I am a human, ad I'm meant to have
Feelings too
(bridge)
I'm-so sorry you were-raised this way
But-now everyone thinks-i'm scary
Cause-i don't feel things-normally
What-have you done-to me?
Your daughter
(ending)
I'm-so sorry you were-raised this way
(keep marching soldier)
I'm-so sorry you were-raised this way
(baby keep fighting)
What-have you done-to me?
Your daughter
