I saw you light up my phone last night
Didn’t answer, I just let it ring
Funny how a thing like that
Can pull you back to everything
I remember praying hard
For you to stay, for us to be
’Cause I was on my knees, believing
That you were all I’d ever need
I mistook heartbreak for the end
Thought losin’ you would ruin me
I see it now, the road I wanted
Was never meant to be
Chorus
Thank God I didn’t
Tie my whole life to a breakin’ dream
Thank God I didn’t
Build a forever on a “wait and see”
It hurt like hell, I won’t deny it
I was ready to give up all of me
Thank God I didn’t
Verse 2
I saw you laughin’ from across the room
And it felt like someone else’s life
There was a time that sight would break me
And keep me up all night
But I’ve grown past what almost was
And the weight of what used to be
What I needed back then wasn’t
What this life had planned for me
I held onto what I had imagined
Way past when it was true
Tryin’ to make a future happen
That was never meant for you
Chorus
Thank God I didn’t
End up stuck in a love that wasn’t free
Thank God I didn’t
Build a life on who we used to be
It hurt like hell, yeah, I’ll admit it
I almost settled for the misery
Thank God I didn’t
Bridge
Some endings are just beginnings in disguise
I didn’t see it back then, but I do now
I didn’t get my way, I got my life
I found my strength on the other side
Turns out the best thing that happened
Was what didn’t
Final Chorus
Thank God I didn’t
Stay where my heart couldn’t breathe
Thank God I didn’t
Settle for “almost” and “maybe”
I found my ground and stood steady
I almost lived a life that wasn’t me
Thank God I didn’t
Outro
Yeah, I thought losin’ you was the end
But it was just where my life began
Thank God I didn’t lose me.
