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
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
and 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
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
