The Ride
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.
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
Chorus
