Olivia Lane - Who I Thought You Were Lyrics

Yah they told me that You loved me, then they told me to toe the line

They said I should be scared of doing things I know you don’t like

Saying sorry every day 

cuz I was so afraid

That’d you leave me so I left you chasing dreams I never found

But through these tears here on my knees I’m begging you to come around

Then the God I learned to fear

You showed up and made it clear that 

CHORUS:

You were there in the darkness

You were there in my pain

You saw me in the valleys and still loved me anyways 

It’s so nice to finally meet you

Why was I so afraid?

I have so much left to learn 

But thank God you’re not who I thought you were

VERSE 2:

I always thought you’d be so angry, instead you’re patient and you’re kind

You are for me, not against me, for way too long I believed the lie

That there was only so much grace

But now I can finally say that 

CHORUS:

You were there in the darkness

You were there in my pain

You saw me in the valleys and still loved me anyways 

It’s so nice to finally to meet you

Why was I so afraid?

I have so much left to learn 

But thank God you’re not …

BRIDGE:

Way too holy to want the broken

Way too proud to love the meek 

Cuz now I know that what I fear 

Is not having you with me cuz 

CHORUS:

You were there in the darkness

You were there in my pain

You saw me in the valleys and still loved me anyways 

It’s so nice to finally to meet you

Why was I so afraid?

I have so much left to learn 

But thank God you’re not who I thought you were
