What I Thought I Wanted
Probably never have left that town
I would've settled by settling down
Thinking the best I could be was exhausted
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
I'd still be with someone who wasn't the one
Trading what could be for just good enough
I'd wanna give it all back just as soon as I got it
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
I wouldn't have learned how to love myself
'Cause I woulda lost me to somebody else
All of my dreams woulda sat on the shelf
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
If I'm being honest, oh
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Only He knew what I actually needed
The older I get, oh the more I can see it
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
I would've settled by settling down
Thinking the best I could be was exhausted
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
I'd still be with someone who wasn't the one
Trading what could be for just good enough
I'd wanna give it all back just as soon as I got it
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
I wouldn't have learned how to love myself
'Cause I woulda lost me to somebody else
All of my dreams woulda sat on the shelf
If I had gotten what I thought I wanted
If I'm being honest, oh
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Only He knew what I actually needed
The older I get, oh the more I can see it
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God that I never got it
His plan was better than I ever could've thought it
I couldn't see what was in His back pocket
If I'da known then I never woulda fought it
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Thank God for not giving me what I thought I wanted
