Heavyweight

First time I saw you, you were holding court at Murphy's Bar
Leather jacket, center stage, playing air guitar
They were showing wrestling reruns on the TV screen
Heavyweight champion of the world, the heartbreak kid
You saw yourself in him, all flash and no apology
Bought me a beer, said "stick around and you'll see"

Yeah, you talked a big game

Heavyweight, that's what you claimed to be
Champion of the world, at least that's what you sold to me
But when the lights went down and the crowd went home
You were just a lonely fighter scared to be alone
Heavyweight, oh you stood so tall
But baby, even champions fall

Three months in, you had me convinced I'd found the one
Every night felt like the main event under the sun
We'd drink till last call, dance till the jukebox died
You'd spin me around that barroom floor with that cocky pride
But somewhere between the spotlight and the morning light
The heavyweight started feeling light

Yeah, the cracks began to show

Heavyweight, that's what you claimed to be
Champion of the world, at least that's what you sold to me
But when the lights went down and the crowd went home
You were just a lonely fighter scared to be alone
Heavyweight, oh you stood so tall
But baby, even champions fall

I found your letter on a Tuesday morning
Said you couldn't handle the weight anymore
Funny how the heavyweight couldn't carry
The one thing worth fighting for

You walked away like you won the match
But baby, there's no glory in a coward's exit
You could've been my champion
But you gave up the crown

Heavyweight, you threw away the fight
Could've been legendary, could've been my knight
But when the final bell rang and the dust all cleared
You were just another fighter running from his fears
Heavyweight, now you're on your own
And every champion remembers
The fights they shoulda won

Yeah, you could've been my heavyweight
Could've been my heavyweight
But you walked away
