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?
