Not What I Had in Mind
Regret's Melody: George Jones' Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town
Expressing an intention to enjoy oneself and be outgoing in the city
I always said someday I'll walk the line
Having a plan to follow a certain path or rules in life
But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around
Feeling extremely sad after the person he cared about left
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
Realizing that the current situation doesn't match the expected or desired outcome
I thought that I could play the field and be a clown
Believing he could date multiple people casually and be carefree
I broke the heart that loved me many times
Repeatedly hurting the feelings of the person who loved him deeply
Yes, I know that I'm the biggest fool in town
Recognizing his own foolishness and regretting his actions
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
Understanding that his behavior didn't align with his initial plans
I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand
Not intending for the situation to become so chaotic
I always meant to make it up in time
Always planning to reconcile or make amends before it was too late
But now she's gone, she hates the very sight of me
Realizing the depth of dislike or hatred the person feels toward him
And that's not exactly what I had in mind
Acknowledging that the current outcome is far from what was hoped for
I told myself, "Go play around you're young and free"
Encouraging himself to explore and have fun while being youthful and unattached
Too late I found that I was oh so blind
Discovering too late that he was ignorant or unaware of the consequences
I lost a love I never did deserve at all
Admitting that the love lost was something he didn't deserve
But that's not exactly what I had in mind
Realizing that the situation doesn't align with his initial expectations
No, that's not exactly what I had in mind
Reiterating that the current circumstances were not what he had planned or wanted
