The Man I Thought You Were

I wake up every mornin'

In a different stage of grievin'

Some days I'm screamin' at the sky

Some days I'm barely breathin'

Replayin' everything you were

And all that we were supposed to be

But when you laid down with her

The man I loved was dead to me

If there was a grave, I would lay white lilies

If there was a funeral, I would've wrote the eulogy

A final resting place for all our good days

And all the memories that we never got to make

Somewhere to go to bury this hurt

I would etch it in stone, "Here lies

The man I thought you were"

Nobody's six feet deep

But I've never been lower

Ripped my heart right off my sleeve

And how the hell do I get closure?

How do I mourn somebody

Who never even existed?

You sure played the part

Like every word was scripted

If there was a grave, I would lay white lilies

If there was a funeral, I would've wrote the eulogy

A final resting place for all our good days

And all the memories that we never got to make

Somewhere to go to bury this hurt

I would etch it in stone, "Here lies

The man I thought you were"

If there was a grave, I would lay white lilies

If there was a funeral, I would've wrote the eulogy

A final resting place for all our good days

And all the memories that we never got to make

Somewhere to go to bury this hurt

I would etch it in stone, "Here lies"

I would etch it in stone, "Here lies

The man I thought you were"

I would have one hymn to sing

Was blind but now I see
