A War Within - Pragmatic Lyrics

Not many people know when I was just a few years oldI found out how to survive a broken homeI learned ever since then to keep it all at arms lengthThough I never did understand I found the strengthI found the strength to keep me aliveAs far as I've come to know it's do or dieYou've tried to grind me downUntil there's nothing leftLet me return the favor18 years for bad behaviorDon't care what others doYou take what's best for youLet me return the favor18 years for bad behaviorI think it's safe to say I might be damaged from the wayYou gave me no chance to recover from the painYou think you return and all is wellFrom a dark so deep you've built your hellI've kept my distance the best I couldThat's why you'll never see me downWhat do you think about me now?It's all my fault I'm still living proudYou can't fix yourself by breaking someone elseWhen you have set your sights to miseryYou can't fix yourself by breaking someone elseI won't let you destroy what's left of meI can't be hurt anymore since you walked out the doorI've never been on a comeback cause I've had the last laughI won't lead a life of regretPaid my share of blood, tears and sweatAll this time without a saviorLet me return the favor18 years for bad behavior
