Lyrics
Not What I Thought
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't know nothing 'bout me
I don't know nothing 'bout you, now (now)
I thought it would never be us
Another flame into dust, now (now)
And maybe it took a mistake (oh, higher, higher)
To see you were always this way (oh, higher, oh, higher, higher)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (not what I)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (not what I)
You said there was no one like me
Thought we would never be one, night (night)
Lovers (lovers)
And I thought you would never treat
The way you that treated the rest of 'em (the rest of 'em)
You lifted me higher
And maybe it took a mistake (oh, higher, higher)
To see you were always this way (oh, higher, oh, higher, higher)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (not what I)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (not what I)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought
Higher
