So you're taking it on the chin

Looks like he's working late again

But you don't want to fight

You find it easier to let things slide

So you pour a glass of wine and read a book

It's your last chance for romance



Day by day

You keep pretending that nothing's wrong

But you're just deceiving yourself

You've been indifferent way too long

Oh, don't you know

Once your heart was filled with passion

Until you took it all for granted

And now comes as no surprise

Tonight there's trouble in paradise



So you bury yourself in work

It keeps your mind off how much it hurts

'Cause there's no love left at home

Even when he's with you, you're still alone

You want to reach out

But you don't know where to start

It's easier not to talk at all



Day by day

You've been indifferent way too long

Oh, don't you know

Once your heart was filled with passion

Until you took it all for granted

Tonight there's trouble in paradise



You want to reach out

Once your heart was filled with passion

Until you took it all for granted
