Victory

Ever since I was a little kid I was never a favourite But I dreamt of growing up and, maybe, one day, I'd change it But I got used to it Having no one to play with Even grown-ups walking out, oh, I remember the day that I was standing in front of you, picking sides in our living room Who would've thought I'd be losing you? I remember I'd have begged if you'd asked me to Anything just not to lose, left your kid with some issues Then I grew up a bit, realised I was different Well, it was not that I wished it, but it was hard not to hear it And every school kid, and I tried not to give it worth, or stir the pot and make it worse Or just end up getting hurt Oh, I've got so much to say The life we live makes us this way Oh, just leave me in your memory 'Cause my heart can't take the part where you come back to me Oh yes, I know it's for the best of me If I never fought, then you'd never have to leave And the sweeter the (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory Am I just the product of a boy who wasn't loved by his father? Spent my life chasing praise, just to end up a monster I got a note from my doctor, he said to not even bother 'Cause when you're messed up as a kid, you'll pass it on to your daughter And it gets worse on your partner, all the pain that I'm harbouring Shoots me down like an armoury But it's always been part of me Learn to live by the glory of knowing it doesn't hold me and choke me And now I'm looking at these pictures on my phone when you're gone And thinking, maybe I messed up, and I was wrong Maybe I messed up and I was wrong Oh, I've got so much to say The life we live makes us this way Oh, just leave me in your memory 'Cause my heart can't take the part where you come back to me Oh yes, I know it's for the best of me If I never fought, then you'd never have to leave And the sweeter the (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory All of my life, never felt so right now (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory All of my life, never felt so right now (oh) The sweeter the victory, victory
