I Will - Brandi Carlile

It’s not the end of the world, it’s not even over

But it will be soon.

I never learned my lessons

I just changed my tune and no one seems to notice

But you will, you will

It’s no big deal

But the last thing I think of when I close my eyes

And the first thing on my mind when I arise:

It is a day and you’re not really in my life

You can try and you won’t find it where you’re looking

You can hold it till it’s putty in your hands

And you can’t break a heart that wasn’t even yours to break

You can never be there for me in the end

And I will do the right thing.

I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will

You’re not fooling me

I’m not the sort of girl who can’t see reason

But it’s nothing that a little bit of time won’t heal

I know it don’t come easy but I love you, I do

Coming clean

Means never closing curtains, I just changed my scene

Oh but you know what I mean, and I will learn throughout my life

To never lean on what will bend

I can try and I won’t find it where I’m looking

I can hold it till it’s putty in my hands

You can’t break a heart that wasn’t even yours to break

You could never be there for me in the end

But I will do the right thing.

I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will

I don’t think you ever learned a thing from me

But I’m sure that you want me to learn from you

And you’ve drawn heavy-handed lines around morality

About yourself, and I don’t share your point of view

It’s been time to let you go a thousand times, you’d never know

That it hurts to be the one that you’d regret

I have to say that I’m proud to know you

And I’ll never be the same because we met

You might not miss this.

And I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will

I will, I will, I will
