Takin´ the Hit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes I'm takin' the hit, payin' the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain't nice.
Just layin' me down, (need help here),
I'm crying all night, yes I'm takin' the hit.
Hey it's my problem, I'm not blaming you;
And I wasn't love, you're just passing through.
And I won't complain, your kiss wasn't calm,
Something has moved you, you're moving on.
I'm feelin' so bad just to think about you.
You're not coming back there's nothin' I can do.
'Cuz I'm takin' the hit, payin' the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain't nice.
Just layin' me down, (need help here),
I'm crying all night, yes I'm takin' the hit.
(Lead Break)
I lie to myself, someday I won't care,
Each day I wake up and you're still there.
I'm hiding the truth, from people I see,
Know something's wrong and it's killin' me.
I'm feeling so bad just to think about you,
You're not coming back there's nothin' I can do.
Yes I'm takin' the hit, payin' the price;
Sometimes in love the ending ain't nice.
Just layin' me down, (need help here),
I'm crying all night, yes I'm takin' the hit.
Yes I'm takin' the hit, payin' the price,
Sometimes in love the ending ain't nice.
Just layin' me down, (need help here),
I'm crying all night, yes I'm takin' the hit
