Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There is nothing left, I'm giving in

I can't win, I can't win

I've been wasting time, I won't pretend

No, not again, never again

[PreChorus]

I was fooled, how could I know that this was doomed to fall apart?

But the truth is hard to hold when time reveals a dark and heavy heart

A dark and heavy heart

[Verse 2]

I can bear the weight of this no more

I can't ignore the spite and scorn

And these bloodshot eyes are battle worn

Goddamn this war, can't take much more

[PreChorus]

But my dignity and pride are like a shield to this abuse

In the end I will survive, I've seen the darkest days

But now I'm free to choose

A life away from you

[Chorus]

And though I hang by a thread

You'll never keep a good man down

And though you pushed to the end

It's time for me to stand my ground

[Bridge]

Once you're betrayed, you never trust

And when it's from the ones you love

Nothing's the same, not as it was

Never as it was

[Refrain]

There is nothing left, I'm giving in

I can't win, I can't win

[Chorus]

And though I hang by a thread

You'll never keep a good man down

And though you pushed to the end

It's time for me to stand my ground

My better angels defend

My dignity at least for now

You'll never hurt me again

No, you won't keep this good man down

No, you won't keep this good man down
