Not In This Life lyrics
by Natalie Merchant



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...
