You tore me down
The damage was done a long time ago
I let it happen
Oh that much I know
Thought I could do it
Do the right thing
And that's what kept me in that boxing ring
18 years is a mighty long
Give them back
It was like living in a small town
Why did I stay and let it
Keep me down
But time went by
And next thing I knew
Eighteen years they did accrue
If I could go back in time
I would do all the things that I missed
If I could go back in time
Maybe my past wouldn't exist
Hindsight is easy to sort it all out
Foresight is harder
When you're in so much doubt
If I'd been thinking
I wouldn't have stayed
But then I was always so very afraid
