Unbroken

I drove home wondering, well, what did that mean?
Was that as backhanded and f*cked up as it seemed?
I fell asleep thinking 'bout what I should have said
All the perfect comebacks rattling 'round in my head
Where were you when I needed you?

I woke up thinking bout what that really meant
An insult so well crafted that it's technically a complement
How did I get back here?
'Cause I've been here before
Trying to suck out the poison but just end up drinking more
Here's a hack
Just step back
Because the best revenge is just not being like that

What if they're not doing this to you?
What if everyone is doing just the best that they can do?
What would that make you if it were true?
Broken people always try to break you
So what do you want to do?

I'm sorry if you think this is jaded
But sometimes I think forgiveness is a little over-rated
Even after the bruises have mostly faded
It's still okay to say it's enough
If it's not the first time, then it's not the last
Time may heal your wounds
But forgiveness brings them back

What if they're not doing this to you?
What if everyone is doing just the best that they can do?
What would that make you if it were true?
Broken people always try to break you
If you can see they're broken, they can't break you

What if it isn't you?
