Ain’t What You Thought

Everybody’s chasin’ somethin’ Half of it don’t even feel like theirs Got a head full of borrowed dreams And a heart that don’t know where it is Spent a lifetime tryin’ to be somebody That you saw on a screen somewhere Now you’re sittin’ in your own life wonderin’ “How the hell did I get here?” Wasted years headin’ for nothin’ Dressed up like it meant somethin’ big Turns out truth don’t shout or sparkle It just sits where it’s always lived You don’t need another answer You don’t need another plan You just gotta quit runnin’ From the mirror and the man You been free this whole time, brother You just didn’t like the cost Ain’t that life… ain’t that somethin’ Ain’t what you thought… but it ain’t lost
