What I Thought I Wanted

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 Esops 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
