Creating Connections

Verse

I thought
I was the one you would choose,
But you gave me nothing
But bad, bad news.

I thought
I was the one to heal your heart,
But you gave me silence
And kept me in the dark.

All I wanted was another chance
To hold you close
While we danced.

All I wanted was another time 
To feed you with my love 
And keep you alive.

Chorus

And you said: “I’m not hungry for your love.
You’re not the man I’ve been thinking of.” 

And you said: “I’m not hungry for your love.
You’re not the man I’ve been thinking of 

You’re not the man I’ve been thinking of

Verse

I thought
I was your rescuer
But you never needed
to be saved.

I thought 
I was your last best hope 
But you never asked for a ladder
or a sturdy rope

All I wanted was another chance 
To hold you close 
While we danced. 

All I wanted was another time 
To feed you with my love 
And keep you alive.

Chorus

And then I said: “I’m not chasing you for your love.
Maybe you’re not the woman 
I’ve been dreaming of.” 

Then I said: “I’m not chasing you for your love.
Maybe you’re not the woman 
I’ve been dreaming of.
Maybe you’re not the woman 
I’ve been dreaming of.

I thought I was the one you would choose…
I thought I was the one to heal your heart….
I thought… I thought…
