I hope you know why
You're taking me for a ride


I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside


And each day my hope subsides
It's killed by your reasons why

Chalking it up to fate
What's to become of the injured hate
When it won't die


[Chorus:]
And though I'd like to sail away

Your eyes just drag me down
Into another stormy day
So I've got to get away


Someday I'll realize
Why you wouldn't be my bride

I wish you could take the hit
'Cause your luck becomes what you make of it
But you have to try


And though I'd like to sail away
Your eyes just drag me down

Into another lonely day
Won't you save me


I'm taking it on the chin
Protecting the parts where the anger's been
When it's deep inside


[Chorus]
