It didn't take any convincing-
from the recruiter that day
You had your mind made up-
Regardless of what I had to say
With tears rolling down my cheeks
You signed that dotted line

Now I'm forced to make memories without you
Our little girl just turned two- but we'll make do
We'll go see the kangaroo at the drive through zoo
Until we don't have to make memories without you

Your back home now and life feels better
But the army's got a funny way
of turnin a soldier into an alcoholic
Regardless of what I had to say
With tears rolling down my cheeks
It was not my happy hour
You downed another bottle...

Now I'm forced to make memories without you
While your in bed with a hang over
we'll spend the day driving all over
Until we don't have to make memories without you

You sobered up and things been better
But you've been feeling under the weather
Appointments - one after the other
You dont think you’ll get better
With tears rolling down my cheeks
Regardless of what you had to say
I tell you that you'll be fine

Cause I don't want to make memories without you
We've been through too much to stop fighting now
So We'll get through it somehow
Please dont make me make memories without you
