I still remember the headgear
And the nosebleeds
And the black eyes
And the butterflies
And I wish I could tell ya
That I never
For a minute
Had to call time-out
And through it all
I thought I was getting used to it
I thought I knew what to do with it
Something far away, getting nearer
Closer every day, mirror mirror
Can you tell me why
I'm always scared outta my mind
But don't lemme fool ya
For all I know
Cus D'Amato
Is the wrong hero
But my secret religion
Needs somebody
For the stained glass
And the holy cards
And after all
I'd settle for an ugly win
Just to know I learned something
I thought that all I needed
Was a better chin
Got closer to the secret
Than I've ever been
So why don't I believe it?
After everything
Tell me why
I'm always scared outta my mind
