I'm Taking It Back. I'm Taking Them All Back Lyrics

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 pieceChasing Claymores - I'm Taking It Back. I'm Taking Them All Back - http://motolyrics.com/chasing-claymores/im-taking-it-back-im-taking-them-all-back-lyrics.html
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
