[Verse 1]
Looking back now, who the hell knows
Where the soul of a dead soldier goes
Guardian angels, maybe they're true
My guardian angel, maybe it's you
[Chorus]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
[Verse 2]
Got holes in my ear drums, bruises and clots
Double vision and my stomach's in knots
Got pain in my fingers, I hurt from my head to my toes
I wake up feeling like I'm ninety years old
[Chorus]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
[Verse 3]
You were my brother, you were more than a friend
You were family to me right up to the end
You're still with me now, I feel you, I know
You're pushing me forward, and you'll never let go
[Chorus]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, and I close my eyes
And me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
