[Verse 1]
Tape on my wrists
Warm on my skin
I lace up slow
Then I step in
Mirror got cracks
But I don't fold
Coach says "again"
I say "one more"
[Pre-Chorus]
Bruises turn blue
Then fade to black
Count my mistakes
Then I come back
[Chorus]
Taped hands, taped hands
I stand back up (back up)
Taped hands, taped hands
I bite it down (bite it down)
Bloody knuckles
Still I move
Taped hands, taped hands
I got something to prove (prove)
[Verse 2]
Rope burns on my side
Floor marks on my pride
Sweat in my eyes
Still I stay inside
Heavy bag sways
Like it knows my name
Every clean hit
Takes some pain away
[Pre-Chorus]
Bruises turn blue
Then fade to black
Count my mistakes
Then I come back
[Chorus]
Taped hands, taped hands
I stand back up (back up)
Taped hands, taped hands
I bite it down (bite it down)
Bloody knuckles
Still I move
Taped hands, taped hands
I got something to prove (prove)
[Bridge]
Tell me I'm hurt
Tell me I'm done
I hear that noise
Then I throw one
If I fall hard
I fall with heat
I keep my heart
Right on my sleeve
[Chorus]
Taped hands, taped hands
I stand back up (back up)
Taped hands, taped hands
I bite it down (bite it down)
Bloody knuckles
Still I move
Taped hands, taped hands
I got something to prove (prove)
