Back On Track

Remember when you told me that I was no good
When you made me feel like no man ever should
Convinced me that you're the only one who'd ever love me
Pulled the wool over these naïve eyes oh so easily

But that's why you're sitting there with nobody at your side
You don't get to break my spirit without losing your pride
Eventually, you'll have to watch me win it all back
'Cause I will, and I am, oh yeah, I'm gettin' back on track

You took credit for my trophies and crucified me for failure
Took advantage of my weaknesses with your constant thirst for power
But I let you, I admit it, until I saw a stranger in the mirror
And realized that your only motive was to wrap me around your finger

Yeah, that's why you're sitting there with nobody at your side
You don't get to break my spirit without losing your pride
Eventually, you'll have to watch me win it all back
'Cause I will, and I am, oh yeah, I'm gettin' back on track

Just came here to show you what's become of me regardless
And to let you know that what I found despite you, is endless
D'you remember how you said it'd never be this way for me
It is, and it's real 'cause he's all you could only pretend to be
