[Verse 1]
Honey, it's like my words burned out
I'm trying to put it out
I'm trying but don't know how
Honey, I'm drowning in all my doubt
I'm trying to start again, I've tried but I'm struggling

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, after all this time got nothing to lose
After all this time is nothing but you

[Chorus]
You might say I wasted on you
But when you break, I break for you too
I can't be this black and blue
But darling, I'll take the punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
I can't be this black and blue
But darling, I'll take the punches for you

Darling, a good intention
Keep running in circles
I'm fading like a ghost
Oh darling, you're making the same mistakes
I'm trying to start again I tried but I'm struggling

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, after all this time got nothing to lose
After all this time is nothing but you

[Chorus]
You might say I wasted on you
But when you break, I break for you too
I can't be this black and blue
But darling, I'll take the punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
I can't be this black and blue
But darling, I'll take the punches for you

[Bridge]
Darling
Darling (darling)
Darling (darling, darling, darling)
Darling

[Bridge]
Like a match faded in time
Like an old forgotten tomb
I know love has been unkind
But the two of us

[Chorus]
You might say I wasted on you
But when you break, I break for you too
I can't be this black and blue
But darling, I'll take the punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you (punches for, punches for)
Punches for you
Punches for you
