I Was Gonna Marry You Lyrics

I gotta go
Time to spread my wings and fly
Higher than the blue sky
Never did me any good
Waiting around
Only so much that my heart can take
It doesn’t matter what you say
Wishing for all we could-have-been
Just so you know just so you know
I never thought youd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you
I gotta stay
As far away as I can get
Cuz a part of me hasn’t left
If I get too close youre gonna pull me back in to
Thinking everything you said was true
But the ring around my finger proved
That I was your girl
But in the end it wasn’t what you wanted
Just so you know just so you know
I never thought youd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you
Yeah I was gonna marry you
Take all the words you’ve spoken
And the promises you’ve broken
And throw them all into the ocean
Just to let it be
And late at night
When youre lying in your bed alone
Wishing you were still at home
But we both know its too late
Just so you know just so you know
I never thought to let you go
I don’t even know the truth
Just so you know just so you know
I never thought youd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you
I was gonna marry you.

This song is self explanatory. Its hauntingly beautiful and heartfelt. Obviously this was written for Jason Mraz, yet we can relate to her feelings and heartbreak.
