Every time I've stepped into the ring I've been knocked out Every time I've tried to get back up I've been knocked down Your fists meet my face now my vision is getting blurry When I can't roll with your punches my failure brings out my fury You know I warned you: you're spending too much time in my corner You might have good intentions but the game you play is heart-wrenching All I want is a fair fight, I guess you can't even give me that I've read your playbook: bait the boy, he'll bend and beg and bleed then knock him flat And it's hard to hold back When my head starts to crack And it's hard to hold back When I want to attack You're a master of provocation Yeah you really got a knack for that Now my veins are burning black And now there ain't no turning back You taught me how to love But then you trained me to fight Trying to rise above But I'm falling tonight I can't repair my heart by dragging you down with me But every boxer needs a punching bag to set passion free I can't be defending if I am pretending I'm too preoccupied By thoughts of you in my brain, I'm going insane I know that there's still good inside But the ice in my soul is taking control And for every Jekyll there is always a Hyde And if lust and wrath are groom and bride My downfall will be amplified Been trying to keep my hands clean but it might be too late I'll never be the same, you are the drug that makes me mutate Wish I could be a better man, but it might be for the best If you stop pushing me over the edge and putting everything that I am to the test But it's hard to hold back When my head starts to crack Yeah, it's hard to hold back When I want to attack You're a master of provocation Yeah you really got a knack for that Now my veins are burning black And now there ain't no turning back You taught me how to love But then you trained me to fight Trying to rise above But I'm falling tonight I can't repair my heart by dragging you down with me (Dragging you down with me) But every boxer needs a punching bag to set passion free But I can't make the mistake, I can't leave you in my destructive wake Maybe I need a break for God's sake getting faked out is more than I can take And I'm losing the fight in the black of the night And it's gripping me tight 'round my neck and I'm lightheaded Swinging with all of my might but no help is in sight I just hope I'll be alright I hope we'll be okay, I hope I don't throw it away I hope that I can hold my fire and throw my punches at other desires Hope there comes a day when I can let you be the one that got away And throw down my weapons and wave the white flag And find a different punching bag Oh, you taught me how to love But then you trained me to fight Trying to rise above But I'm falling tonight I can't repair my heart by dragging you down with me (Dragging you down with me) But every boxer needs a punching bag to set passion free Gotta wave the white flag and find a different punching bag But I'm too late, I mutated, the flame will not abate I'll never wave the white flag Or find a different punching bag
