The Things I've Gone And Done Lyrics

The Things I've Gone and Done by Carrie Newcomer

Take down your defenses like you've taken off your clothes.
It's a glorious insurrection not to hold your secrets close.
And what's the use of counting errors, or the help in counting sheep?
I don't intend to live my whole life out just to find I've been asleep.

It's not the things I've gone and done I'll regret or be ashamed,
But the things I did not say or do just because I was afraid, just because I was afraid.

It's mysterious and wondrous the strange circles of the mind
And that I can see as far ahead of me as I can see behind.
And hindsight's always 20-20, but we see just what we wanna see
And I used to pray for wisdom. Now I know just what that means.

It's not the things I've gone and done I'll regret or be ashamed,
But the things I did not say or do just because I was afraid, just because I was afraid. Carrie Newcomer - The Things I've Gone And Done - http://motolyrics.com/carrie-newcomer/the-things-ive-gone-and-done-lyrics.html

And I'm learning to forgive and relearn it every day
Every time I stop to gather stones, I straighten up and walk away.
I don't have another message. I don't have anything to sell.
And there are no easy answers as far as I can tell.
And I don't believe that Jesus was crazy or that it is Mohammed's fault,
When something good can get so twisted 'til there's no semblance at all.

It's not the things I've gone and done I'll regret or be ashamed,
But the things I did not say or do just because I was afraid, just because I was afraid.

Because the odds are bad, it doesn't mean you shouldn't take the risk.
I don't believe it will not happen just because it hasn't happened yet.

It's not the things I've gone and done I'll regret or be ashamed.
It's the things I did not say or do just because I was afraid, just because I was afraid.
