What I thought I wanted

Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box

Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off

What he thought he wanted, what he got instead

Leaves him broken yet grateful

I passed understanding a long, long time ago

And the simple home of systems and answers we all know

What I thought I wanted, what I got instead

Leaves me broken somehow peaceful

I keep wanting You to be fair,

But that's not what You said

I want certain answers to these prayers, But that's not what You said

When I get to heaven, I wanna go find Job

I want to ask a few hard questions, I wanna know what he knows

About what it is he wanted, and what he got instead

How to be broken yet faithful

What I thought I wanted, what I got instead

Leaves me broken and grateful
