You'd Think By Now - Carrie Newcomer

It isn't fair it isn't right

I've gone over and over the scenes in my head

Laid here awake both half of the night

And it isn't good and I can't let go

Must have been someone or something I hurt

In some other life somewhere long ago

And I don't know how I started down this tailspin

Why one more time I just did not see it coming

And you'd think by now

I'd figured out the pattern

I shook my fist I left too soon

The soft wounded animal inside of me

Stood up on its hind legs and howled at the moon

Anger rises in a violent storm

And when I am the wisest I lay down beside it

And hum in it's ear until it gets quiet

I don't know how I started down this tailspin

Why one more time I just did not see it coming

And you'd think by now

I'd figured out the pattern

I don't know how I started down this tailspin

Why one more time I just did not see it coming

And you'd think by now

I'd figured out the pattern

It isn't fair it isn't right

I've wished on a million or billion bright stars

Prayed like the devil with all of my might

And somebody said What's really true

All of this stuff is different I know

But what is in common has always been you

I'm learning to see the heavens are so starry

If I'm not too proud I'll learn to say I'm sorry

And you'd think by now I'd figured out the pattern
