Bitter Sweet Victory

Bitter Sweet Victory
(Verse 1)
I’ve been fighting for years, with my heart on the line
Through every scar and bruise, thought I’d be just fine
The battle was long, but I stood my ground
And now that it’s over, I’m lost and I’m bound
(Pre-Chorus)
I won what I wanted, but I lost what I had
Now the silence is louder than the fights I once had
(Chorus)
It’s a bitter sweet victory, the prize I sought
But in the end, it feels like everything I fought
I’m standing alone, with the battle behind
But the peace I wanted, I can’t seem to find
It’s a bitter sweet victory, too high a cost
For all the things gained, there’s so much I’ve lost
(Verse 2)
I got what I dreamed, but the dream’s turning grey
The people I loved are all far away
The price of the win is more than it seems
Now I’m questioning all of my hopes and my dreams
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I’d find freedom when the war was done
But now all I feel is the weight of what I’ve won
(Chorus)
It’s a bitter sweet victory, the prize I sought
But in the end, it feels like everything I fought
I’m standing alone, with the battle behind
But the peace I wanted, I can’t seem to find
It’s a bitter sweet victory, too high a cost
For all the things gained, there’s so much I’ve lost
(Bridge)
Was it worth the fire, the endless fight?
To feel like a winner, but lose the light?
I thought this would fix me, but now I see
That victory doesn’t always set you free
(Chorus)
It’s a bitter sweet victory, the prize I sought
But in the end, it feels like everything I fought
I’m standing alone, with the battle behind
But the peace I wanted, I can’t seem to find
It’s a bitter sweet victory, too high a cost
For all the things gained, there’s so much I’ve lost
(Outro)
Now I’m sitting with nothing but the scars on my skin
Wondering if I’ll ever be whole again.
