The Ride

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
