Boxing - Ben Folds Five

Howard, the strangest thing 
Has happened lately 
When I take a good swing 
And all my dreams 
They pivot and slip 
I drop my fists and they're back 
Laughing Howard 
My intention's become not to lose what I've won
Ambition has given way to desperation and I 
Lost the fight from my eyes

(chorus):
Boxing's been good to me, Howard 
Now I'm old, you're growing old
The whole time we knew
In a couple of years I'd be through
Has boxing been good to you?

Howard, I confess I'm scared and lonely and tired
They seem to think I'm made of clay
Another day, not cut out for this
I just want to say, I say

(chorus)

Well sometimes I punch myself as hard as I can
Yelling nobody cares hoping someone will tell me how 
Wrong I am

(chorus)

Has boxing been good
Has boxing been good to you?
