Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Thought that I'd be happy

Going to be so happy

Living life alone

And never sharing anything

[Verse 2]

Thought that I was finished

Thought that I was complete

Thought that I was whole

Instead of being half of something

[Verse 3]

Thought that I was growing

Growing older, wiser

Understanding why

This world hold nothing for my spirit

[Verse 4]

Thought that I was destined

Destined to be nothing

Destined to be nothing in this world

And then I met you

[Verse 5]

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

[Verse 6]

Thought that God had failed me

Thought my prayers were useless

Thought that he would never get

The chance for me to praise him

[Verse 7]

Thought the book was written

Thought the game had ended

Thought the song was sung and I

Could never sing another

[Verse 8]

Thought my faith was misplaced

Thought my back was broken

Broken by a weight that

I was never fit to carry

[Verse 9]

I thought I knew this city

Thought I knew all about it

And then one night I went to

Morning side and you were waiting

[Verse 10]

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

[Verse 11]

Thought that I'd be happy

Going to be so happy

Living life alone

And never sharing anything

[Verse 12]

Thought that I was finished

I thought that I was complete

Thought that I was whole

Instead of being half of something

[Verse 13]

Thought that I was growing

Growing older, wiser

Understanding why

This world hold nothing for my spirit

[Verse 14]

I thought that I was destined

Destined to be nothing

Destined to be nothing in this world

And then I met you

[Verse 15]

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

[Verse 16]

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

[Verse 17]

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you
