I Fell In Love Instead

 

Loving you I thought

would be a bed of roses

I layed myself down

but look at what I've found

I expected happiness and soft satin sheets

but Lord, look at me now

 

I tried so hard to understand

I tried to give you a helping hand

I knew you needed just a friend

but I fell in love instead

 

I wasn't always easy

it's a fault and I admit

I was too much depending on you

but what else could I do?

my life was in a mess

and you were there to pull me through

 

and out of thankfulness

I tried to give something back

I knew you needed just a friend

but I fell in love instead
