Heavyweight Champion Lyrics By Connie Constance

My dad and I have quite an up-and-down relationship that I’ve wanted to write about for a while. But recently, we’ve realised we have a lot of the same humour and stuff. I went into the studio with Ed Thomas, an amazing writer who’s worked with Jorja Smith and Mahalia, and he was like, ‘I’m so excited to make indie bangers with you!’ And I was like, ‘Well, actually, I was hoping you’d help me with this song concept I’ve had for a while.’ It’s called ‘Heavyweight Champion’ because I come from a really strong boxing family. My dad’s side of the family are all boxers or trainers, and though it shouldn’t be a gender thing, I’d probably be a boxer, too, if I’d been born a boy.

[Verse 1]
I’ve never been that good at talking
And you wasn’t there to help me find my words
With you, I feel I’m out of practice
It’s not a two-way street, it’s your way or the curb

[Verse 2]
Don’t you wanna be the heavyweight champion?
Pick me upward and the world starts falling down
‘Cause I haven’t found the coping mechanisms
I’m still waiting at the wind, offer you to come ’round

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know why I wait for something new
When I will change, but you will always be you

[Chorus]
I know that the time won’t heal us
And my hourglass will keep spinning ’round for you
I know that the time won’t heal us
And I don’t know if you ever cared to know
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine right here on my own

[Verse 3]
Mental illness and a fеather boa
‘Cause it’s in fashion to be good at loving yoursеlf
But you’re living off of life’s leftovers
And I’m wishing that I knew your former self

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know why I wait for something new
When I will change, but you will always be you

[Chorus]
I know that the time won’t heal us
And my hourglass will keep spinning ’round for you
I know that the time won’t heal us
And I don’t know if you ever cared to know
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine right here on my own
