Melody Gardot "Some Lessons" lyrics

Some Lessons

Well I'm buckled up insideA miracle that I'm aliveI do not think I can surviveOn bread and wine alone

To think that I could have fallenA centimeter to the leftWould not be here to see the sunsetOr have myself a time

Well why do the hands of timeSo easily unwindSome lessons we learn the hard waySome lessons don't come easyAnd that's the price we have to payOh well some lessons we learn the hardwayThey don't come right off and right easyThat's why they say some lessons learnedWe learn the hard way

Remember the sound of the pavementWorld turned upside downCity streets unlined and emptyNot a soul aroundLife goes away in a flashRight before your eyesIf I think real hard well I reckonI've had some real good times

Why do the hands of timeSo easily unwindSome lessons we learn the hard waySome lessons don't come easyAnd that's the price we have to payOh well some lessons we learn the hardwayThey don't come right off and right easyThat's why they say some lessons learnedWe learn the hard way
