Melody Gardot - Some Lessons lyrics

rate me

Well, I'm buckled up inside

miracle that I'm alive

Do not think i can survive

on bread and wine alone

to think that i could have fallen

a centimeter to the left

would not be here to see the sun set

or have myself a time

well why do the hands of time

so easily unwind?

some lessons we learn the hard way

some lessons don't come easy

and thats the price we have to pay

some lessons we learn the hard way

they dont come right ?often? right easy

and thats why they say

some lessons learned we learn the hard way

remember the sound of the pavement

world turned upside down

city streets unlined and empty

not a soul around

life goes away in a flash

right before your eyes

if i think ?well hard?

well i reckon i had some real good times

why do the hands of time so easily unwind

some lessons we learn the hard way

some lessons dont come easy

and thats the price we have to pay

Oh well some lessons we learn the hard way

They dont come right often right easy

and thats why the say

some lessons learned we learn the hard way
