Victory

(La-la-la, la, la)

Ever since I was a little kid
I was never a favourite
I dreamt of going home but 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?
But, remember, I'd have made a few laughs with you
Anything just not to lose, left your kid with some issues
Then I grew up a bit, realised I was different
No, 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, it's to know it's for the best in me
If I never fought, then you'd never have to leave
And the sweeter the—
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory

Am I just a 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, it's to know it's for the best in me
If I never fought, then you'd never have to leave
And the sweeter the—
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory

All of my life, never felt so right now (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
The sweeter the victory, victory
