Not What I Wanted by Evan Olson Lyrics

Lately there's been a change in me
And I'm not sure if I can handle it
But every day has a different way
To tear me apart just a little bit
It seems I've been taking the long way down
To a place I really didn't want to go
I can't explain why you pick my brain
Just to tell me what I already know

It was a lonely mixed-up tragedy
But it's something that I just can't seem to release
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)

Deep inside where I used to hide
There's a place in need of a miracle
And people claim that they'll stay the same
But they never have and they never will
When it's a lonely mixed-up memory
And it leaves me here with nothing more to believe
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)

You can't deny the truth wore thin
When we both know what could have been

You can't deny the truth wore thin
(Not what I wanted)
When we both know what could have been
(Not what I need)

I know that some day
(Not what I wanted)
(You can't deny the truth wore thin)
I'm gonna have my way
(Not what I need)
(When we both know what could have been)
I know that some day
(Not what I wanted)
(You can't deny the truth wore thin)
I'm gonna have my way
(When we both know what could have been)

It's a lonely mixed-up tragedy
That rips apart my life-long dream
And a lonely mixed-up memory
That keeps me down when I just wanna be free
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
Not what I wanted
Not what I need
(Harmony for you and me
That's the way we want it to be)
