Carrie Newcomer Lyrics
"It Goes Both Ways"

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
