I Wanted It To Be You
All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.
I believe in Jesus Christ
so I believe in miracles, alright?
so I know where I am is where I need to be
when I am
you don't need to think, I'll think twice
two three four five six seventeen hundred times
and I think I understand why God let you out the gates
of my life
you see, we would have been aesthetically pleasing
stunning like two cardboard cutouts on Target ceilings
we were God's design
but those are just feelings
and they're fleeting
see going in a hundred percent
not knowing it's your third or fourth lesson
but see without all that effort
the betrayal can't snake down to your breaths
and choke you
in the middle of your day
and I wanted it to be you
but I didn't really know why
I read these books on life, on love
that brought you to light, to life
and I wanted it to be you
but I was so tense I'd close my eyes
I'd pray until my face was blue and I
tried to prove your worth but you did not know mine
and I wanted it to be you
but I didn't really know why
I read these books on life, on love
that brought you to light, to life
and I wanted it to be you
but I was so tense I'd close my eyes
I'd pray until my face was blue and I
tried to prove your worth but you did not know mine
you were not you and
I was not me and
we'd have been beautiful
but would we have been happy?
