One To Fall

Go on, then

Back in those bright lights again

Oh, the kids are gonna tear you apart

Wipe the blood off your hands

Wrap 'em around your finger if you can

So come on, then

We'll give it one more round

If you think you can remember your part

With your back against the ropes

Seeing stars flashing, circling the dark

Well, I've done all I can do

But I just can't make that call

Can't someone else

Be the one to fall?

Well, you've said it a million times

Nothing's gonna change your mind

Your words are gonna lose their weight

Coming too hot out the gate

And you're always looking back as you run away

So look at you now

In those bright lights again

As if there was another way out

Of this reoccurring dream

When you're waking up before the final count

Well, I've said all I can say

But I just can't make that call

Can't someone else

Be the one to fall?
