Not So Strong

Took a hit with the left
Round four, eight left
He follows up before the break
Bell rings, it's too late
Got a cut on a lid
Left eye, a nick
Use an iron to stem the blood
Ice will do the rest
You went down, a slip
Round six, six left
Get up, get up, get up
I'm not so strong
I'm not so strong as I look
If you can open your heart
To a blow or a kiss
Meet them as one and the same
There's a sense of relief when you know you've been beat
All your defence melts away
I'm not so strong
I'm not so strong as I look
When you're hit by a glove
You might never get up from
All you can do is pray
That the contact is sweet
Oblivion deep
Broken's a place you could stay
Now I'm lost in a fight
Where I know I'll get ploughed
Finessing my jaw to his right
It's not the defeat
That shows up the weak
It's how you respond
When you're down
I am vulnerable, I am insecure
And behind that lies one more illusion
I'm invincible, indestructible
And behind that lies one more illusion
I'm not so strong
I'm not so strong as I look
You went down with a right
Round ten, two left
Holding on, give him your weight
Referee cries break
You got hit, went down
Taste fear, get up
Stay inside to the sound of the bell
Only two rounds left
Right hook, lost heart
Went down, stayed down
