lyrics

"Punch"

Ear pressed against the door
Tears of disbelief
What I'm longing for
Resolving to relief
You made up your mind, you were mine
I ran into your arms
And there was the kiss, only this
Could shoot me up into the dark

Now you have the upper hand
So the punch came so hard
Now you have the upper hand
So the punch came so hard

These scars they are all that is left of the years you wasted me
I followed you around like a hound waiting for you to believe
I was all that you need everything you've been waiting for
Gave enough of myself till I couldn't fight love anymore
Then the punch came so hard
and the punch came so hard

Shattered little pieces
My former broken self
I left a few behind me
Now you can wound yourself
My realistic anticipation couldn't be
But I learned from you
When you hold your heart in your hand
Frigid reality you come to

They always have the upper hand
So the punch comes so hard
They always have the upper hand
So the punch comes so hard

These scars they are all that is left of the years you wasted me
I followed you around like a hound waiting for you to believe
I was all that you need everything you've been waiting for
Gave enough of myself till I couldn't fight love anymore
Then the punch came so hard
and the punch came so hard

In the end you'll only be
Holding onto cutlery
Wondering why they couldn't love me

And the punch comes so hard
The punch comes so hard
That punch comes so hard
And the punch came so hard
