Throwing in the Towel

Soda, I'm really a mess Every night I worry myself to sleep While you're watching cartoons There ain't nothing I can do for you I know that Ponyboy's really got a damn good heart Something 'bout him that really could take him far But I keep holding him down I've run this family right into the ground Maybe you'd be best without me I don't know what else to say I lost our brother and I lost my way I think a fool could'a done better Maybe I've been afraid to say That I'm just not cut out for this Just another failure on a growing list And it's harder now than ever It's more than I can take There ain't no one to bail me out There ain't no saving this now I think I'm throwing in the towel On the days when you feel like you're torn in two Making dinner, paying bills that are overdue You think that I don't see? It'd go to hell if it was left up to me And I don't know what we would do if you were not around The one to keep the ship afloat when its going down Darrel, I need you And anyone can see that Pony does too I know you love him That's all you gotta do And I don't know what else to say I know you feel like you've lost your way But I think you're doing better Better than you know If he comes back, there's a price to pay What if they lock our brother away? There ain't no way of knowin' We've gotta get our brother home This is the darkest hour of the darkest night Looking up ahead, you can't see no light But the time is now or never There ain't no letting go You might feel like you're givin' out We need you more than ever now Don't go throwing in the towel I know your head is full of doubt But brother, that's what love is all about Don't go throwing in the towel When you love someone that's all that you can do There ain't no throwing in the towel
