lyric

The ring’s a chasm I can’t seem to cross,
Each time you step in, I fear what I’ve lost.
The wounds on your skin echo pain in my heart,
And my tears fall for the battles that tear us apart.

“I love you more than words can convey,
But seeing you fall breaks me every day.
Your passion lifts you, but it tears me in two,
I don’t know how to love and not fear losing you.”

The ring is my home, my refuge, my light,
Where every punch tells the tale of my fight.
The canvas is the place where I find my peace,
But in your eyes, I see your unease.

Your hands tremble as I lace my gloves tight,
Your voice falters, though you try to sound right.
“It’s not just the fight,” I try to explain,
“This is who I am; I can’t break the chain.”

Between fists and tears, we both lose our way,
A love trapped in battles we can’t keep at bay.
The fight brings us closer, yet pulls us apart,
How do I love someone who can’t change their heart?

Your victories are trophies I can’t even hold,
They remind me of the cost and the stories they told.
Every hug reveals scars that speak of your strife,
Etched in your body, but they cut through my life.

Every punch I take is part of my stride,
But your eyes tell a story of pain you can’t hide.
You see my bruises, they’re marks of my quest,
But they hurt you more than I can confess.

“I don’t know how to live without this ring,
It’s my blood, my soul, my everything.”
“And I don’t know how to love without pain,
When every battle draws you further away.”

Between fists and tears, we both lose our way,
A love trapped in battles we can’t keep at bay.
The fight brings us closer, yet pulls us apart,
How do I love someone who can’t change their heart?

“I love you, but the ring’s part of me.”
“I love you, but I don’t know if I can be.”

Between fists and tears, our love fades to gray,
A fighter and his muse… torn by destiny’s play.
