You Thought
2024 @cindy
[Verse]
You thought I'd never change.
You thought I was too good.
But what I was. Was young,
with an unhappy childhood.
You thought I was strange.
You couldn't understand how I could.
Come to do what I've done.
You thought I never would.
[Chorus]
She says I didn't set out to hurt you.
Why on Earth would I want to?
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
[Break]
[Verse]
I was a kid when we married,
a teen without a clue.
Barely twenty and a mother.
What was I supposed to do?
[Chorus repeats]
Didn't set out to hurt you.
Why on Earth would I want to?
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
[Verse]
You thought I'd never go,
that I had all I'd ever need.
But I didn't know enough then,
didn't pay attention or any heed.
I never planned to deceive you.
And no! I never cheated.
There isn't any other man.
So don't you feel defeated?
[Chorus repeats]
She says I didn't set out to hurt you.
Why on Earth would I want to?
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
[Bridge]
I'm a tree
that has kept growing.
Back then,
I had no way of knowing!
[Verse]
You thought I'd never change.
You thought I was too good.
I thought I couldn't change.
I found out that I could.
[Chorus repeats]
I didn't set out to hurt you.
Why on Earth would I want to?
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
[Outro]
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
You thought you had me,
I thought you had me, too.
