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 // 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
