You Never Thought
Unveiling Heartbreak: George Jones' Unexpected Revelations in 'You Never Thought'
Lyrics
Who's gonna be to blame when dreams are all in vain
Questioning who will be held responsible when aspirations are unfulfilled.
And find out then that there's somebody new
Anticipating the discovery of someone new in the future.
Who's gone away someday, they hadn't gone away
Reflecting on someone who was expected to leave but hadn't departed yet.
I bet you never thought it would be you
Expressing surprise that the person facing challenges is oneself.
I bet you never thought it could be you.
Reiterating the unexpected realization of personal struggles.

Instrumental break in the song.
You'll walk the floor and weep, you will tremble in your sleep
Foreseeing emotional distress, including weeping and sleep disturbances.
You'll sit and wonder what you're gonna do
Contemplating the uncertain future and the challenges ahead.
Who's gonna pray each night for the Lord to bring daylight
Pondering who will seek divine intervention for a brighter day.
I bet you never thought it could be you you
Reiterating the surprise that the one facing difficulties is the person speaking.
I bet you never thought it would be you.
Re-emphasizing the unexpected nature of personal hardships.

Instrumental break in the song.
Who's gonna feel ashamed each time they hear my name
Speculating on who will experience shame upon hearing the speaker's name.
And be sorry that they broke a heart in two
Expressing regret for causing heartbreak and sorrow.
I think you ought to know so I'll tell you before I go
Disclosing important information before departing.
I bet you never thought it would be you you
Reiterating the surprise that personal struggles have befallen the speaker.
I bet you never thought it could be you...
Stressing the unexpected nature of facing challenges and difficulties.
