3am Thoughts

 3am thoughts

We said we moved on but I know it’s not true

I think you’re not alone but for me there’s only you

Our lives so different and I wish we could go back

Somehow, we derailed and I swerved off the track 


Chorus:

It wasn’t meant to be this way

That’s the price that I’m having to pay

It hurts me each day after day

I’m in a game that I cannot play


When the darkness comes and I’m lying here all alone

The silence deafening waiting for a sound from the phone

Trying to switch off but the minds working overtime

In jail with my 3am thoughts for committing a crime


I remember the day we met like it was yesterday

You looked straight at me and I didn’t know what to say

As the night drew to a close, we ended it with a goodbye kiss

It’s the holding of hands and the taste of your lips that I miss


Dreaming too much - we’ll be together again

If I told you that now you would call me insane

Trying to move on but I keep falling down the hill

I’ve never healed and I don’t pretend that I ever will

It Never Happened That Way

 Your life is thought to be planned out

Spending time with loved ones you care about

Meeting your soul mate, I’ve no doubt

And listening to children scream and shout

 

Chorus

It didn’t happen that way

But it will happen so they say

I’m hoping for that day

But it just hasn’t happened that way

 

A wife that is perfect for me

Working as one in perfect harmony

Strolling hand in hand by the sea

Living a life from a movie

 

A son with such a perfect smile

Standing out in a crowd with a unique style

All his trouble would be worthwhile

With a laugh we would reconcile

 

Bridge

Some things in life just don’t come true

And dreaming may be the best you can do

 

A daughter is her father’s pride

Dreaming seeing her as a beautiful bride

My overprotection won’t hide

My love for her is strong inside

 

Chorus

It didn’t happen that way

But it will happen so they say

I’m hoping for that day

But it just hasn’t happened that way

It just didn’t happen that way
