B.o.B - Letters From Vietnam Lyrics

Goodbye my love, the country is in need of me
and I heard there were signs of war so I’m going overseas

So don’t cry my love
The skies above will cry for you
and I’ll be safe so hopefully
I’ll come back home for you

Yeah, Yeah

So please, tell me it’s not true
after all the love I’ve given, you found someone new
and all about the things I’ve seen
this has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy
Oh you, you let it all slip away but soon you’ll find
soon you’ll find (yeah) what you can’t replace

I gave away my love
that I promised you I would keep
A thousand deaths I died that day
When 2 became 1
A greater force pulled you away
So I got on my knees and begged
That silence replaced my tears
So goodbye my love
August 1, 1965

Yeah [x4]

So please, tell me it’s not true
after all the love I’ve given, you found someone new
and all about the things I’ve seen
this has got to be, got to be the greatest tragedy
Oh you, you let it all slip away but soon you’ll find
soon you’ll find (yeah) what you can’t replace

Yeah

[Guitar solo]

Goodbye my love, as I bid farewell to thee
all is fair in love and war so I’m going overseas
