Knocked out in the final round

by Timothy   May 2, 2005


1st verse:
It was a late, stormy night, and our situation was well beyond a fight, but I had known that for sometime,
She said she had stopped loving me, and the look she was giving me, I'd have to agree, but before tonight I had missed the true signs;
My wife told me she had found someone new, and long ago our marriage had been through, and that I had made my bed,
I begged and I pleaded for another chance, told her I could rekindle the romance...and, my god, what about the kids?

Chorus:
I don't really understand, maybe I haven't been much of a man, but I did the best I knew how to do,
I thought I was a good husband, and a great dad,---man, this is just too sad, and my heart's breaking in two;
What will I do under another roof, this is my last goof, I'm losing my children and wife,
I'm getting beat without a sound, knocked out in the final round...of my life.

2nd Verse:
I was numb at her resolve, this puzzle I couldn't solve, of her sharing someone else's bed,
But I had not long to ponder, because there was something else to wonder, and the words would not sink in my head;
She told me to wake the kids, and tell them with half-closed eyelids, their father would be their father no more,
I found myself staring at watery eyes, and I somehow pinched out the cries, as I forevermore walked out their door.

Repeat Chorus:
I really don't understand, maybe I haven't been much of a man, but I did the best I knew how to do,
I thought I was a good husband, and a great dad,---man, this is just too sad, and my heart's breaking in two;
What will I do under another roof, this is my last goof, I'm losing my children and my wife,
I'm getting beat without a sound, knocked out in the final round...of my life.
