On The Ropes

I've been making something out of nothing for a long time now
you might say I'm bluffing but I'm gonna make it work somehow
if you think they've got me on the ropes
don't you blink,
Honey here I go

I've been hoping lately that I'm dreaming and I'll wake up soon
and looking all around me just for one thing I can call the truth
but if you see me heading for the door
just count to three
I'm coming back for more

it's not time
I'm not tired
I've got everything I need to get me through the night
Let it burn, let it bleed
you don't need to try so hard to make me feel alright
go on leave, go on home
it's not your fight

I've made my mistakes you know I've paid a lot to feel this bad
it's a thousand dollar hangover it ain't even the worst I've had
but if you think I'm sitting out this dance
pour me one more drink, I've still got a ghost of a chance

might not be right but I'm sure
I might be a fool but I ain't a kid no more
and I've lost it all before
I'm no stranger to the bar room floor
when I'm down for the count there's a voice I can't ignore
