Not Like I Planned lyrics

I had it written in my head Every word we never said Thought I knew just how it goes Guess that's how the story folds You were laughing, I was sure This was something, maybe more But the moment slipped away Like it didn't want to stay I kept waiting for a sign Something clear, something mine But you never looked my way Not the way I thought you'd stay It's not like I planned Not what I dreamed Nothing turned out The way that it seemed But I stayed anyway Even when I knew It wasn't perfect It just felt true You don't see it like I do That's okay, I always knew Still I tried to make it fit Even when it wasn't it We were close but never there Something lost in empty air I was holding onto almost Like it mattered the most I was hoping you would change Maybe step outside your frame But some things just never move No matter what you prove It's not like I planned Not what I dreamed Nothing turned out The way that it seemed But I stayed anyway Even when I knew It wasn't perfect It just felt true Maybe I just wanted more Than what we were before Maybe I just didn't see It was never meant for me It's not like I planned But that's okay Some things don't last They just fade away Still I kept the part That felt like light Even if it didn't Turn out right Not like I planned But I'm alright
