I WASN'T LOOKING

I WASN'T LOOKING

There was a journey that I just made.

It started out as a game that just had to be played.

I wasn't looking for love, I wanted to stay free.

I may not have been looking for love, but it was looking for me.

I just wanted someone to hold, to touch, and kiss.

I didn't want someone to own, to keep, or miss.

What I got was someone that stole my heart.

Someone that made me love her right from the start.

I wasn't looking for someone that would always be by my side.

But I found someone that grabbed my sole and took it for a ride.

I just wanted someone I could make feel good, someone I could push to the brink.

But there I was falling in love before I could even blink.

I wasn't looking for forever and ever amen.

I was just looking for someone to help me sin.

What I found was someone that made me feel alive.

But all I have now are the memories that will always survive.

I wasn't looking to be first on someone's list.

I just wanted someone to call me from time to time to share a little bliss.

Then I found myself on someone's list all the way at the top.

I found that it really felt good and I didn’t want it to stop.

Then, I wasn't looking for anyone but her,

And time went by so fast, everything seemed like a blur.

What I got was someone to hold that I could never keep.

What I found was someone that in the end would make me weep.

I wasn't looking for a love that would always be around.

I wasn't looking, but I thought that's what I had found.

She thought I couldn't give her what she needed and that was a must.

I found someone that didn't believe in me, there was no trust.

I wasn't looking for someone to break my heart.

I guess I was doomed for it to end this way right from the start.

When she was looking for a love, I was looking for a lover.

By the time I found her love she was gone, and I will never recover.
