Title Match

I was in a fight, now I'm in a war

Everything is as it was before

Got back from the ring, my hand held high

Then I found out there's no pie in the sky

Why couldn't you tell me I had another fight?

That there was someone and you thought I wasn't right?

Instead I had to come home and have it in my face

It's hard to win when you don't know there's a race

Have to clear my head, what is there to do?

No good options in this heap I'm picking through

Sure I could beat him, give out some of my pain

But I have everything to lose and nothing there to gain

Lucky for me, he picks up and runs

Leaving just me and who he used for fun

Now I'm standing in the door like a haint

And I'm on the verge of another mistake

I just turn, nothing to be done

She laughs at me, saying "What are you, son?

"Just another boy playing at being a man

"Steady playing games, are you going to take a stand?"

I get in her face, let her see my eyes

Let her know her fate lies between those lines

Grab her by the wrist, bring her to her feet

Now I see all I need to see

That there is no future there in that bed

That there is no future if I see her dead

That there is no future in taking back my "pride"

And knowing the truth is only what's inside

I hand her a bag, then I walk away

She follows down the hall a bit, I don't turn her way

She tries a trial cry, all I do is go

She calls me a name, I let her do her show

Sure she can holler, sure she can scream

Give me all the guff, try to pull at my seams

All I know is tonight I took it all back

Here's where I truly won the title match
