She begged him not to go

The fighter wrapped his gloves

The fighter said I know I know I know

Just this one last time

I swear you'll still be mine

But he can't promise much

He goes for one last touch, one last touch

The fighter goes inside

The dawn is creepin' in

He swings with all his might

At all that mattered then

And she's in love with him

But lovers don't always win

He never even saw the swing

She calls out his name, calls his name

What breaks your bones

Is not the load you're carryin'

What breaks you down

Is all in how you carry...

She begs him not to go

She unwraps his gloves

The lover said I know I know I know

Kissed his trembling lips

She touched his fingertips

Somehow they both know

He's not comin' home, comin' home

But I gotta try or it will destroy me

'Cause baby we don't have to be all alone.
