In a former life, in a former place
Think I knew her smile, I remember her face
Maybe that’s why i’m a mess
Whenever she wears that dress
It’s like a no-look right hook dropping me down
And when I stand up I’m stuck stumbling around
No, she don’t know what she does to me
Yes, I confess that I’m blind
I can’t deny I was born to be a martyr for love
It’s just a part of my punch drunk destiny
So I take the hit, and I take the pain
But I’m not done yet, and it hits me again
Maybe I’ll never know why
It’s just that look in her eyes
It’s like a long-lost left cross out of the blue
And when it hits me I see stars and the moon
No, she don’t know what she does to me
Yes, I confess that I’m blind
I can’t deny I was born to be a martyr for love
It’s just a part of my punch drunk destiny
Don’t put it on me
Blame it on my punch drunk destiny
No chance I’m gonna leave
I’m just a sucker with a punch drunk destiny
It's like a door-shut uppercut taking me out
And maybe this time now I'm down for the count
No, she don’t know what she does to me
Yes, I confess that I’m blind
I can’t deny I was born to be a martyr for love
It’s just a part of my punch drunk destiny
Oh, don’t put it on me
Blame it on my punch drunk destiny
No chance I’m gonna leave
I’m just a sucker with a punch drunk destiny
