About "I Didn't Plan It" (Commentary) - Sara Bareilles

Go ahead, throw your axe at me

From your little glass house and then take off running

You're no better than me

We've both made mistakes intentionally

And I won't do what you keep doing

Sit in judgment of a house I ruined

I don't claim to be proud

But my head won't be hung in shame

I didn't plan it

But the light turned red and I ran it

And I'm still standing

It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here

I understand it

A story written by my own hand

It's life biting right at your heels

I didn't plan it

But it's finally something to feel

Look around you, ain't no saints here, baby

We're all just looking for a little less crazy

And sometimes it's a hard left turn

Down a road you never thought you'd see

And don't you think dealing blame is a hazard?

I'm not the only one whose dark side has her

I didn't plan it

Taking back what's been taken for granted

Cause I can't stand it

I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free

I needed saving

And a good mistake needed making

Maybe you need the same thing

I didn't plan it

Taking back what's been taken for granted

I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free

I didn't plan it

But it's finally something to feel

Something to feel
