The Upset Victory - I’m Taking it Back. I’m Taking Them All Back lyrics

rate me

You’ll never hear the end of this

You’ll never see the likes of me

And everything that I expected

Isn’t what I thought it’d be

If I had the time to stop and think

I’m settled or is this a dream?

Its greener on the other side

But nothings ever what it seems

Brick by brick I’ve built this up for you

Today’s empires will be tomorrow’s ashes

I’ve lived by your example

Died with my ideals

I’ve laid to rest 10 years of where I’ve been

I’m taking back what wasn’t yours in the first place

You’ll never see a glimpse of it again

What exactly did you have in mind?

What direction we going in?

You told me to reach for the sun

When I did it only burned my skin

Now I’m going to put this back

Together, slowly piece by piece

I salvaged what I had in hand

And let go what I couldn’t keep

Brick by brick I’ve built this up for you

Today’s empires will be tomorrow’s ashes

I’ve lived by your example

Died by my ideals

I’ve laid to rest 10 years of where I’ve been

I’m taking back what wasn’t yours in the first place

You’ll never see a glimpse of it again

This time it’s on my terms

Whatever happens here

At least I can see myself

Even though it isn’t clear

Uncertain of what comes next

I like it better that way

I’ve lived by your example

Died by my ideals

I’ve laid to rest 10 years of where I’ve been

Now I’m taking back what wasn’t yours in the first place

You’ll never see a glimpse of it again
