The fighter's eyes are clear
And he wears a smile
As he meets the day
And nods at friends along the way
He walks straight with pride
Just like everyone said;
He'd be fine ...
He'd be just fine, in time
I love only you, she'd cried
And the stars seemed so bright...
But now his vision blurs
As pangs of memory
Make his thoughts go dark
And hit him square in the heart
The last fight put him under
Thought he'd never see again
He crawled out to the street
And lay in the cold cold rain
I love only you, she cried...
But now his vision blurs
As the painful memories
Make his thoughts turn dark
And kick him in his heart
Remembering bright blue sky...
And two dark closets
With doors open wide
And the unused broom just inside
And his legs grow weak
As he crumbles inside
From the 10-ton weight
The cold dead weight of his fate
I love only you, she'd cried
And the moon seemed so bright...
But his vision blurs
As the painful memories
Make his thoughts go dark
And punch him straight in the heart
He wanted so much to believe
But too many black holes
Little lies were a disease
That still eats his soul
And his eyes close
As unbearable visions
Make his thoughts go dark
And punch him straight in the heart
And his eyes close
And his eyes close
