It Goes Both Ways - Carrie Newcomer

I should have looked down

I should have looked back

I should have checked my rear view mirror

It’s not that I don’t, maybe I just rely that

You won’t hit me on my blind side

I had been blinded by too much need

Old voices bad choices to appease

I’m not who I was, that’s done and that’s that

And no other man’s going to do me like that

But I’m talkin' time, and I’m checkin' mine

I know it goes both ways

But I’m well aware of a chip that’s sittin' here

On my shoulder

I believe in reason I believe in vision

I still have nightmare sin the dark

I still have a few tender places

Somewhere in the center of my heart

But I’m talkin' time, and I’m checkin' mine

I know it goes both ways

But I’m well aware of a chip that’s sittin' here

On my shoulder

So OI love you like I love no other

I’m sorry when you pay for the crimes of another

I’m sorry I hurt you, you’re sorry I cried

I’m sorry when I don’t trust you 'cause someone else lied

But I’m takin' time, and I’m checkin' mine

And I won’t let the past

Keep me down at all set me up to fall

It’s on my shoulders
