Between The Ropes MP3

Lyrics:

I learned early to keep my hands up

Every second's a test of will

In the ring you don't trust the moment

You trust the scar and the skill

I've seen good men freeze in silence

When the pressure hits too fast

So forgive me if I hesitate

I'm fighting ghosts from my past

I don't doubt your aim or fire

I don't doubt what fear can do

When the smoke starts closing in

I don't know if you'll shoot

I don't trust what I can't control

I don't trust what I can't see

If I let myself rely on you

What happens if you leave?

I don't flinch when the bullets come

I don't freeze when it's real

You don't get to call me weakness

Just because I make you feel

I've covered ground you never saw

Held lines when you turned away

I'm not asking you to save me

I'm asking you to stay

I've watched you take the weight alone

Like that's something to admire

But even champions need corners

When they're fighting through the fire

You don't trust what you can't control

But I'm not your enemy

I'm the one who'll drag you out

When you're down on one knee

You don't have to bleed in silence

You don't have to pretend

I'm not asking for your heart

Just trust me to defend

I've been betrayed by steady hands

I've been ignored by men like you

Every bond becomes a target

Every war needs more than you

If we fall, we fall together

Or we die alone apart

I don't trust what I can't control

I don't trust walls built from fear

We're fighting on the same damn side

But drawing different lines here

I don't need you to believe in me

Just don't leave me in the dark

Maybe trust is just another fight

I don't know how to start
