on the ropes

I was diagnosed with a fear of getting too close Had to tell the ones I love I was on the ropes I'm not the only one whose life's been pulled apart

Nineteen, your eyes are glowing to my beating heart Oh, it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm And you never really know where it goes up until it starts I got my eye on you

'Cause fixers never fix themselves She's a fighter with no one beside her In a corner alone on the ropes She's a let down away from a terrible place

Get back up over and over and over again, I'll call you til my voice gives out Even when I'm frustrated, in pain, on the ropes, I'll recall you

Maybe I'm just a ghost Emptier than anybody knows Maybe I'm on the ropes Or I'm not even here

Don't leave this town my dear Don't leave here for the day I'm on the ropes again I need you as I am

We had high hopes Now my back's on the line My back's on the ropes When it started
