Shadowboxing

Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

I'm paranoid, I'm paralysed
I'm half-alive behind the eyes
I'm tipsy, tipping on razor edge
Don't let the lines inside my head
Mother told me: Let it go
You've done enough, just let it go
But, every night, I fantasise
Of kissing you just one more time

Painted nails and late-night [cell?], huh
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let's get ugly
I don't think I'm ready to fall

Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself
Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
I'm over here just crying, crying, crying in the sheets now
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

I've been dancing, but I can't dance
I'm in fashion, [?] on my back
Every second is a chance, and I'll take it
It's a pity never been enough to share

Painted nails and late-night [cell?], oh
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let's get ugly
I don't think I'm ready to fall

Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself
Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
I'm over here just crying, crying, crying in the sheets now
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Yow
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
[?], I'm not bad, oh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
[It's over my head?]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself
Yow
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
[?], I'm not bad, oh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
[It's over my head?]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Everyday, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, ah, hell, I'm shadowboxing myself
