Throwing in the Towel

Soda, I'm really a mess

Every night I worry myself to sleep

While you're watching cartoons

There ain't nothing I can do for you

I know that Ponyboy's really got a damn good heart

Something 'bout him that really could take him far

But I keep holding him down

I've run this family right into the ground

Maybe you'd be best without me

I don't know what else to say

I lost our brother and I lost my way

I think a fool could'a done better

Maybe I've been afraid to say

That I'm just not cut out for this

Just another failure on a growing list

And it's harder now than ever

It's more than I can take

There ain't no one to bail me out

There ain't no saving this now

I think I'm throwing in the towel

On the days when you feel like you're torn in two

Making dinner, paying bills that are overdue

You think that I don't see?

It'd go to hell if it was left up to me

And I don't know what we would do if you were not around

The one to keep the ship afloat when its going down

Darrel, I need you

And anyone can see that Pony does too

I know you love him

That's all you gotta do

And I don't know what else to say

I know you feel like you've lost your way

But I think you're doing better

Better than you know

If he comes back, there's a price to pay

What if they lock our brother away?

There ain't no way of knowin'

We've gotta get our brother home

This is the darkest hour of the darkest night

Looking up ahead, you can't see no light

But the time is now or never

There ain't no letting go

You might feel like you're givin' out

We need you more than ever now

Don't go throwing in the towel

I know your head is full of doubt

But brother, that's what love is all about

Don't go throwing in the towel

When you love someone that's all that you can do

There ain't no throwing in the towel
