Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box
Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off
What he thought he wanted, what he got instead
Leaves him broken and grateful
I passed understanding a long, long time ago
And the simple home of systems and answers we all know
What I thought I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and somehow peaceful
I keep wanting you to be fair
But that’s not what you said
I want certain answers to these prayers
But that’s not what you said
When I get to heaven I’m gonna go find Job
I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
How to be broken and faithful
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
Staring in the water like Esops foolish dog
I can’t help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
What it was I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and grateful
I’m broken and grateful
I want to be broken and grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful

Lyrics by Sara Groves
A Cradle in Bethlehem Add To The Beauty All I Need All Right Here Angels We Have Heard on High Cave Of Adullum Child of Love Come Thou Fount Compelled Conversations Different Kinds of Happy Esther Every Minute Fireflies and Songs First Song That I Sing Fly From This One Place Generations Going Home Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Hello Lord How Can I Tell How Is It Between Us? I Saw What I Saw It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Jeremiah Just One More Thing Just Showed Up For My Own Life Kingdom Comes Know My Heart Less Like Scars Like A Skin Loving A Person O Holy Night Painting Pictures Of Egypt Remember Surrender Rewrite This Tragedy Roll To The Middle Silent Night Something Changed Tent In The Center Of Town (Live) The Boxer The One Thing I Know The Word This Journey Is My Own This Peace To The Moon Tornado Twice As Good Undone What Do I Know? When It Was Over When The Saints Why It Matters You Are The Sun You Cannot Lose My Love You Did That For Me
