Not In This Life Lyrics

Lately I've been walking all alone

 Through the wind and through the rain

 Been walking through the streets

 Finding sweet relief in knowing that it won't be long 

 

 Lately it's occurred to me

 That I've had enough of that

 And lately I've been satisfied by simple things

 Like breathing in and breathing out 

 

 Never again, not in this life

 Will I be taken twice

 Never again, not on your life

 Will I make that same mistake

 I can't make it twice 

 

 Lately it's occurred to me

 Exactly what went wrong

 I realized I compromised, I sacrificed 

 Far too much for far too long 

 

 Never again, not in this life

 Will I be taken twice

 Never again, not on your life

 Will I make that same mistake

 I can't make it twice 

 

 Starting out from here today

 Swear I'm gonna change my ways

 Once mistaken in this life 

 But never twice 

 

 Never again, not in this life

 Will I be taken twice

 Never again, not on your life

 Will I make that same mistake

 Never again, not on your life

 Will I make that same mistake

 Can't make it twice 

 

 Starting out from here today...
