Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box
|
Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off
|
What he thought he wanted, what he got instead
|
Leaves him broken and grateful
|
|
I passed understanding a long, long time ago
|
And the simple home of systems and answers we all know
|
What I thought I wanted, what I got instead
|
Leaves me broken and somehow peaceful
|
|
I keep wanting you to be fair
|
But that's not what you said
|
I want certain answers to these prayers
|
But that's not what you said
|
|
When I get to heaven I'm gonna go find Job
|
I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
|
About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
|
How to be broken and faithful
|
|
What I thought I wanted
|
What I thought I wanted
|
What I thought I wanted
|
What I thought I wanted
|
|
Staring in the water like Aesop's foolish dog
|
I can't help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
|
What it was I wanted, what I got instead
|
Leaves me broken and grateful
|
|
I'm broken and grateful
|
I want to be broken and grateful
|
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
|
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
|
