[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

[Refrain]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
There is nothing left, I'm giving in
I can't win, I can't win
Oh, oh, oh

[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

[Outro]
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
