Rookie In The Ring

Hanna Rae

Lyrics

How do I begin
with just this paper and this pen
throw some words on a page
that'll never be enough

I'd been playing charades
I'd been acting out for six months now
but I never said a thing
holding pride to my chest
I should've been surrendering

I'd grown used to living in old chapels
spending time down on calloused knees
I guess I never saw you coming
you knocked me out
like a rookie in the ring

i'm through leaving lipstick stains
on every coffee cup i meet
no longer longing for a stranger 
to ask about my story

now i put my tears to bed
and i rest my tired eyes
i always hoped the rain would end
and that the sun would rise

but i'd grown used to living in old chapels
spending time down on calloused knees
i guess i never saw you coming
you knocked me out
took me down
to the ground
like a rookie in the ring
