(Verse 1)
Three months in the Glasshouse, counting the days,
Locked behind walls for the choice I made.
A soldier’s duty and a son’s love collide,
I chose my heart, and the Army replied.

The red beret gone, the rank stripped away,
But in my soul, I knew I couldn’t betray.
Not the Queen, not the Crown, but the life I held dear,
In her final hours, I chose to be near.

(Chorus)
Dismissed but not disgraced, I stood my ground,
A line between honour and shame I found.
They took my stripes, they broke my chain,
But they couldn’t take the love that remains.
Not dishonoured, just a soldier who knew,
Sometimes the hardest choice is staying true.

(Verse 2)
In the Glasshouse shadows, I carried my pride,
Thinking of her smile on the other side.
The pain I eased, the peace she found,
Was worth the cost of that courtroom sound.

They called it justice, I called it fate,
To sacrifice the badge but not the weight.
A uniform can’t define a man,
When love and duty force his hand.

(Chorus)
Dismissed but not disgraced, I stood my ground,
A line between honour and shame I found.
They took my stripes, they broke my chain,
But they couldn’t take the love that remains.
Not dishonoured, just a soldier who knew,
Sometimes the hardest choice is staying true.

(Bridge)
The glasshouse walls, they couldn’t break me,
I faced the Crown, and they didn’t forsake me.
Time served, a price to pay,
But my heart was clear at the end of the day.

(Chorus)
Dismissed but not disgraced, I stood my ground,
A line between honour and shame I found.
They took my stripes, they broke my chain,
But they couldn’t take the love that remains.
Not dishonoured, just a soldier who knew,
Sometimes the hardest choice is staying true.

(Outro)
Now I walk free, the past in my wake,
A story of love, and the choice I had to make.
Dismissed but not defeated, I’ll hold my head high,
For in her last moments, I couldn’t let her die.
