Pragmatic - A War Within

Not many people know when I was just a few years old

I found out how to survive a broken home

I learned ever since then to keep it all at arms length

Though I never did understand I found the strength

I found the strength to keep me alive

As far as I’ve come to know it’s do or die

You’ve tried to grind me down

Until there’s nothing left

Let me return the favor

18 years for bad behavior

Don’t care what others do

You take what’s best for you

Let me return the favor

18 years for bad behavior

I think it’s safe to say I might be damaged from the way

You gave me no chance to recover from the pain

You think you return and all is well

From a dark so deep you’ve built your hell

I’ve kept my distance the best I could

That’s why you’ll never see me down

What do you think about me now?

It’s all my fault I’m still living proud

You can’t fix yourself by breaking someone else

When you have set your sights to misery

You can’t fix yourself by breaking someone else

I won’t let you destroy what’s left of me

I can’t be hurt anymore since you walked out the door

I’ve never been on a comeback cause I’ve had the last laugh

I won’t lead a life of regret

Paid my share of blood, tears and sweat

All this time without a savior

Let me return the favor

18 years for bad behavior
