Mouth full of blood, one eye swollen shut,
I mustered up one last punch before i bit the dust.
He was the biggest dog in that fight,
but he picked on me for the last time
and i spent the night, icing down my pride.
Everyone in the whole 8th grade said i lost that fight that day,
It was only him and me, that knew about my victory

Comes a time when a man's,
gotta know where he stands,
gotta go with his heart,
Lick his wounds and live with his scars,
Give all you can give,
Might Lose, might win,
Like that boy that became a man that day,
Im fine either way.

Walls are bare theres and inch of dust
on the broken frame,
picture perfect once,
'till she gave up.
I loved that girl with all i had
for better or worse all went bad,
And that was that,
no, she aint looked back.
She couldn't live with what i couldn't be,
but i've learned to live with me,
Theres some things i didn't do right,
but im gonna sleep fine tonight.

Comes a time when a man's,
gotta know where he stands,
gotta go with his heart,
Lick his wounds and live with his scars,
Give all you can give,
Might Lose, might win,
She might stay gone, she might come home today,
Im fine either way.

I plant my feet and you can bet
my mind aint gonna change,
My best friends and my enemies
wouldn't hesitate to say,
Im one of those guys,
You either love or you hate,
Im fine either way.

Im fine either way.
Im fine either way.
