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"
