I'm Fine Either Way Lyrics

Mouth full of blood one eye swoll shut
I mustered up one last punch
before I bit the dust
he was the biggest dog in that fight
but he'd picked on me for the last time
and I spent the night icin' down my pride
everyone in the whole eighth grade
said I lost that fight that day
it was only him and me who 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
you give all you can give
might lose, might win
like that boy who became a man that day
I'm fine either way

walls are bare, there's an inch of dust
on a broken frame picture perfect once
'til she gave up
I loved that girl with all I had
for "better or worse" all went bad
and that was that, no she ain't looked back
she couldn't live with what I couldn't be
but I've learned to live with me
there's some things I didn't do right
but I'm 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
you give all you can give
might lose, might win
she might stay gone
she might come home today
I'm 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
I'm one of those you either love or you hate
I'm fine either way

I'm fine either way

I'm fine either way
