We used to call each other Katherine and Eve
I don't know from where we got those names
We used to love each other with deep intensity
We used to fight with kicks and fists and nails
If I had a dime for everytime I been vile
I'd be a milionaire by now
You used your big sister calm
to tease me to tears
I used to pinch you a little bit too hard
On your wrists on your arms,
if you look closely you can see the scars
Oh I have done things so mean and so grin
I'm too ashamed to say them out loud
I don't think you get how much I regret
Oh here me when I vow
That I will always be your soldier
I'll be marching by your side
I'm not deserting
I'll be there for you
Oh please please believe in this oath of allegiance
Thirteen years old, lipstick and boys
I never knew how lucky I was to have you
The great teenage depression our domestic civil war
And I think back you were the one to pull me through
Yeah what it comes down to is you are the one who truly understands
Wherever you go I hope that you know that I'm at your command
And I will always be your soldier
I'll be marching by your side
I'm not deserting
I'll be there for you
Oh please please believe in this oath of allegiance
Oh, I will be strong for you, I will belong to you
Carry you, bleed for you
Run for miles
I will always be your soldier *5
Won't you please please believe in this oath allegiance
Oh I'm not retreating this time
I won't surrender this time
I won't surrender this time
I'm your soldier
and will be marching here right by your side
