Time and Again

from Never the Pretty Girl by BettySoo

lyrics

We always seem to run into the same old fights
The same old conflict
We use the same words with each other
Time and again

Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever grow out of these
Silly arguments
If our words will tire of settling the score

Did you know that time has grown me up
And time has worn me down
And I am not who I was anymore
And I know that this should mean
I shouldn’t have to pick the same old fights
But I guess I still have a long way to go

There are times I look back
And see the way I’ve made mistakes
And I wonder how it is that some say
They live without regret
Cause I know I’m not perfect
And you’re not perfect
But injuries surprise me when they come
Still, time and again

Did you know that time has grown me up
And time has worn me down
And I am not who I was anymore
In some ways I am thankful
And other times I have regrets
For the people I have hurt my way here

So how is it I have come here
Is it grace that has carried me so far?
It seems like an awfully kind accident
If fate could be so kind
With the wrongs that I have known
And done anyway

And now I know that though I’m growing up
I have worn myself down
But I am not who I was anymore
And some days I remember to be thankful
And other days I forget
But grace remembers me time and again
