I never took a dive - I tried to stand my ground

I beat myself up, and I made sure I stayed down

I tried to be tough, and I talked loud and rough

I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger

I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger

Do you think less of me cause I could not reach the stars

I medicated demons down and danced on the wreckin ball

I picked myself up off the ground I never let me live it down

I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger

I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger

I turned a fortune into dust - banging on cross nails of rust I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger

I took off my boxing gloves and I found that I was stronger
