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 want to 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
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
Oh, what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Starin' in the water like Aesop's foolish dog
I can't help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
What he thought I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and grateful
I'm broken and grateful
I'm broken and grateful, want to be grateful
And I want to be grateful, peaceful, faithful, faithful, grateful
Want to be grateful, peaceful, faithful
Hmm, I want to be, grateful, peaceful, faithful, faithful, grateful
Want to be, grateful, peaceful, faithful, faithful
Ohh, oh, ohh, oh
