All the dirty jewels that caught your eyes
Aren't like diamonds in the sky
So I sit and stop and wonder why
It's not what I thought it was
Good may be grand, nothing gold will stay
No air left here to take my breath away
Don't think twice, it'll be ok
It's not what I thought it was
Love - from your crown to your feet
Love - always hidden, discreet
Love - the promise we never keep
Hate - it's mine when I'm yours
Hate - the ever changing kept score
Hate - I've never needed you more than now
And when my eyes adjust to line your face
The ink's gone dry, I can't erase
All that you had hoped remained
It's not what I thought it was
