For Tonight

For Tonight

I'll be the punching bag, you can claim the fighter

Don't know where you got all that

All that blah blah, them made up stories 

Blows to the head

Trying to make me feel sorry

No time or energy left, that's what I said

So you really wanna go

You really wanna take these rounds

And no I'm not for sure that this is an easy way out

And it could be wrong or it could be right for tonight

Said you really wanna go now

I'll save myself, find my own way out

And it might just be wrong but why couldn't it be right for tonight

I'll be the playground and you be the child

Run all over me

Leaving bruises and scratches, that leaves no repair

My voice is broken

No fixing, no mending

Seems we've been here a thousand times 

Just throw out your threats

We will stay

Come back another day

We will cry

And we'll fight, and we'll see 

The light...

But we'll stay, for tonight
