"Punches" lyrics

Noah Cyrus & LP Lyrics

"Punches"

Honey, feels like my world's burned down
I'm trying to put it out
I'm trying but don't know how
Honey, I'm drowning in all my doubt
I'm trying to start again
I try but I'm struggling

Ooh, after all this time got nothing to lose
Ooh, after all this time see nothing but you

You might say I'm wasted on you
But when you break, I'll break for you too
Love can beat us black and blue
But, darling, I'll take the punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
Love can beat us black and blue
But, darling, I'll take the punches for you

Darling, the good intentions
Keep running in circles
I'm fading out like a ghost
Oh, darling, you're making the same mistakes
But I'm trying to start again
I try but I'm struggling

Ooh, after all this time got nothing to lose
Ooh, after all this time see nothing but you

You might say I'm wasted on you
But when you break, I'll break for you too
Love can beat us black and blue
But, darling, I'll take the punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
Love can beat us black and blue
But, darling, I'll take the punches for you

Darling (darling)
Darling (darling)
Darling (darling, darling, darling)
Darling

Like a map faded in time
Like an old-forgotten tomb
I know love has been unkind
For the two of us

And you might say that I've been fooled
But when you break, I'm breaking too
Love can beat us black and blue
But, darling, I'll take the punches for you

Punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you
Punches for you (punches for, punches for)

Punches for you
Punches for you

Speaking with Hayley Kiyoko, Noah Cyrus revealed that "Punches" was inspired by the one-year-long relationship with her boyfriend. She said in particular, "...I was just like, 'I don't wanna lose whatever this is. I know it was hard for us to be in it, but I will do anything and will go through anything for us to work it our.'" She concluded, "Let's talk about when life knocks you down. You know? And love knocks you down mostly. So that's was what we were saying."
LP wrote on Instagram on the 22nd of September 2018 about this collaboration, "Wow I love this song #Punches!! @Noahcyrus you are the shit ! Thank you for having me feature on this amazing song you wrote with @joejaniak and @thejennaandrews . Such an honor to be a part of it !! And the #GoodCry EP is amazing . You all need to check it out!!!"
Joe Janiak, one of the co-writers, told iamlp.blog about "Punches", "It's about the struggles of relationships. How they are a two-way thing, that are hard, and at times feel like a battle. Noah was a huge fan of LP and really wanted to hear her voice on the song. LP's voice injected this magical extra layer of depth. The two of them together really tell the story."
