A War Within - Pragmatic

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
