Not In This Life Lyrics - Motherland - Natalie Merchant

Lately I've been walking all alone 

Through the wind and through the rain 

Been walking through the streets and 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, no never on your life 

Will I make that same mistake 

I can't make it twice 

Lately it's occurred to me 

And exactly what went wrong 

I realized, I compromised 

I sacrificed far too much for far too long 

Never again, no not in this life 

Will I be taken twice, no no no no 

Never again, no never 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 

And never never never, never twice 

Never again, no not in this life 

Will I be taken twice, no no no no 

Never again, no never on your life 

Will I make that same mistake that I'm gonna make it twice, no no no no 

Never again, no never 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 

Starting out from here today 

Swear I'm gonna change my ways 

Gonna change my ways 

Never again, no never again, no never in this life 

I gonna make that same mistake, I'm gonna make it twice 

Never again, no never again, no never on your life 

I gonna make that same mistake, I'm gonna make it twice
