I Thought

WE ALWAYS LIVE OUR LIVES BY IF’S
SO WHY DO I BELIEVE THE MYTH
WHEN ASKED TO “PUT YOUR TRUST IN ME”
I GAVE MY ALL FOR NOTHING NEW

I THOUGHT WE HAD IT BUT FOR ONE FLAW
I THOUGHT WE COULD DO BETTER THAN THOSE BEFORE
I THOUGHT WE WOULD TURN IT INTO SOMETHING MORE
THAN LIES AND DECEPTION ON A DESOLATE SHORE

NOW THERES A TOWER OF HATE IN ME
YOUR STABBING SO HARD THAT I DO DECREE
OUR FEELINGS THEY SHOULD NOW KNOW
THERES NO PRIDE OF FACE BY LETTING GO

I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT ALL BUT FOR ONE FLAW
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SMARTER THAN BEFORE
I THOUGHT YOU’D DONE BETTER BUT WANTED MORE
I THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE LOVED ME MORE

THE DOWNFALL IS NOW PROFOUND
TURNING AWAY WITHOUT A SOUND
I THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOREVER
BUT SHATTERED DREAMS BECAME NEVER EVER

I THOUGHT WE HAD IT BUT FOR ONE FLAW
I THOUGHT WE COULD DO BETTER THAN THOSE BEFORE
I THOUGHT WE WOULD TURN IT INTO SOMETHING MORE
THAN LIES AND DECEPTION ON A DESOLATE SHORE
