Not What I Wanted
Lately there's been a change in me
And I'm not sure if I can handle it
But every day has a different way
To tear me apart just a little bit
It seems I've been taking the long way down
To a place I really didn't want to go
I can't explain why you pick my brain
Just to tell me what I already know
It was a lonely mixed up tragedy
And it's something that I just can't seem to release
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Deep inside where I used to hide
There's a place in need of a miracle
And people claim that they'll stay the same
But they never have and they never will
When it's a lonely mixed up memory
And it leaves me here with nothing more to believe
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
You can't deny the truth wore thin
When we both know what could have been
I know that some day I'm gonna have my way
It's a lonely mixed up tragedy
That rips apart my life long dream
And a lonely mixed up memory
That keeps me down when I just wanna be free
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
And I'm not sure if I can handle it
But every day has a different way
To tear me apart just a little bit
It seems I've been taking the long way down
To a place I really didn't want to go
I can't explain why you pick my brain
Just to tell me what I already know
It was a lonely mixed up tragedy
And it's something that I just can't seem to release
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Deep inside where I used to hide
There's a place in need of a miracle
And people claim that they'll stay the same
But they never have and they never will
When it's a lonely mixed up memory
And it leaves me here with nothing more to believe
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
You can't deny the truth wore thin
When we both know what could have been
I know that some day I'm gonna have my way
It's a lonely mixed up tragedy
That rips apart my life long dream
And a lonely mixed up memory
That keeps me down when I just wanna be free
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
