You d Think By Now lyrics

It isn t fair, it isn t right.
I ve gone over and over the scenes in my head,
Laid here awake half of the night.
No it isn t good, and I can t let go.
I ve been something or someone I hurt,
In some other life somewhere long ago.

Chorus: 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 have figured out the pattern.

I shook my fists I ve 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 violet storm,
And when I am wisest lay down beside it
And hum in it s ear until it gets quiet,

Chorus

No 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.
Yeah all of this stuff is different I know.
But what is in common has always been you."

Chorus I m starting to see and the heavens are starry.
And if I m not too proud I?ll learn to say I m sorry.
You d think by now I d have figured out the pattern.
