lyrics

You… always felt so strong before
And true… you were the one knocking down the doors
You… were the King of the Hill
And true… it all seemed so easy until…

Til it holds you down, without a sound, and what else can you do?
It spins you round, you fall to ground, and break your vows to you
You feel like a fool, underneath so much cool
But you shut your mouth, and pound by pound, you beat yourself black and baby blue

You… never felt the days of the weak
And true… you never felt their sting on your cheek
Til you… felt the fingers around your neck
And true… you couldn’t breathe, well, what did you expect?

Cause it holds you down, without a sound, and what else can you do?
It spins you round, you fall to ground, and break your vows to you
You look like a fool, with an Acme anvil too
But you shut your mouth, and pound by pound, you beat yourself black and baby blue

Cause there’s a price you pay for being so naïve
And where’s the magic when there’s nothing up your sleeve?

So, it holds you down, without a sound, and what else can you do?
It spins you round, you fall to ground, and break your vows to you
You laugh like a fool, in the deep end of the pool
But you shut your mouth, and pound by pound, you beat yourself black and baby blue

But it’s never too late to start again
But it’s never too late to start again
But it’s never too late to start again
But it’s never too late to start again…
