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 and 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 and 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'm gonna go find Job
 I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
 About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
 How to be broken and faithful
 What I thought I wanted
 What I thought I wanted
 What I thought I wanted
 What I thought I wanted
 Staring in the water like Aesop's foolish dog
 I can't help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
 What it was I wanted, what I got instead
 Leaves me broken and grateful
 I'm broken and grateful
 I want to be broken and grateful
 I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
 I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
