This is no ordinary, rational feeling
I am overtaken by a panic and run
I have fallen by the wayside many times before and I have learned to use this love as a weapon I am caught up by the common as usual
I have nearly followed til' my spirit was numb
I continue the ascent of never ending
Collecting all but things that matter the most
Chorus
But you're not what I thought when I saw you
I have been running for so long and so far
I haven't got what I thought i would find
To fill the empty up
But you're not what I thought
No you're not what I thought
there is a manner I have quietly tucked away
yet it is fighting for a place at the top
I am dying to believe I'm big enough to try
but it's a battle I am losing alone
oh, oh oh - you're uncovering
what I was missing all along
oh, oh oh - I'm giving everything for the war - for the war is won - for the war is won
And you're not what I thought when I saw you
I had been running for so long
but now I've got - something else, something more that I know will fill the empty up
'cause you're not what I thought - no you're not what I thought
