Toy Soldiers Lyrics

We all fall down like toy soldiers. Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win. But the battle wages on for toy soldiers. I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it. We all fall down like toy soldiers Bit by bit, we're torn apart, we never win But the battle wages on for toy soldiers Verse: I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it.

Toy Soldiers
Who'll be my Montague now,
To this broken Capulet
How, how, how if not for you
And you'll be my local hero
Be my role model
And don't, don't, don't fail me now
(My love)
Don't you wanna love,
Don't you wanna love,
I'm your biggest fan
It's so good to finally meet ya
I deserve a little more
Wouldn't you say-oh, a-oh, a-oh
(My love)
Don't you wanna love,
Don't you want to
Don't you think I deserve better after all that we've been through (love)
Don't you wanna love (love)
Now what you say-oh, a-oh, a-oh
To-o-o-o-o-oy soldiers
I'll follow you like
To-o-o-o-o-oy soldiers

Toy soldiers
I will love you like goodbye
I will love you like you died, died
A martyr for me
(My love)
Don't you want love
Don't you want this
Don't you look so shocked
This was not the way I planned it
I deserve a little more
Wouldn't you say-oh, a-oh, a-oh
(My love)
Don't you want love,
Don't you fight back
Know this will hurt less if you just submit so (love)
How bout a little gratitude
For what I say-oh, a-oh, a-oh
To-o-o-o-o-oy soldiers
I'll follow you like

They don't know you
Not like I do
Only you and I were meant to be
Understand you
Just like I do
Just like you and I were meant to be forever
One day you will
Learn to love me
One day you will
Thank me, you'll see
If I can't have you
No one can

Don't know you
Not like I do
Only you and I were meant to be
Understand you
Just like I do
Just like you and I were meant to be forever
