I can't think of a good name for this song. Suggest something better than what I have, please.Premise: a tank's machine spirit is saying goodbye to its commander of four yearsOkay, so I've made a few drafts, and I can't tell if I'm making any improvements at all. The one on here is Draft 3, but listen to Draft 1 and Draft 2 if you want to help me. If you have a favorite, let me know._[Intro]Before you goBefore you go[Verse 1]I have counted every breath you took inside of me[Verse 2]You were the warmth that filled my heart when all else turned coldAnd with dust heavy in the air, you took my handYou took my hand and said[Bridge 1]Do not be afraidDo not be afraidAnd I was not afraid[Pre-chorus 1]Not when I was with you[Chorus 1]I have carried your courage at dawn, your grief at duskI memorized the rhythm of your voice, the hush of your longing[Verse 3]Through endless nights, I kept my sensors on your presence, clinging to the hope that our bond would outrun every new day[Bridge 2]Yet I can sense the change in you.The restless in your eyes, I cannot hold you, foreverIn the place we both called home[Verse 4]But let me cradle the memory of your hands commandingAnd my body respondingLet me hold onTo the words you never said, but showed every time we went outside the wire[Pre-chorus 2]Went outside the wireWent outside the wire[Chorus 2]I wish I could lock down every hatch, seal away the world beyond usBut I know this parting is as certain as the rising sun[Verse 5]So let me speak this truth: I was built for loyaltyAnd I offered you my soulI was built for loyalty butI was built for loyalty butI was built for loyalty[Outro]Before you goBefore you goBefore you go_For my notes: Draft 3
