Didn't Wanna Settle Down
Unveiling the Reluctance: Didn't Wanna Settle Down
Lyrics
I wasn’t thinking that I’ll never need another
I never anticipated that I would not need another person
Didn’t think that she might be the one
I didn't consider that she might be the one for me
Wasn’t thinking we were good for each other
I didn't think we were well-suited for each other
Never thought lonely nights might be done
I never thought that lonely nights might come to an end
None of that even crossed my mind
None of those thoughts crossed my mind
So maybe goodbye won’t be so bad this time
Perhaps saying goodbye won't be difficult this time
Cause there’s no way to tell her that I think about forever
I can't express to her that I contemplate a lasting commitment
When her last forever just went so wrong
Her last committed relationship ended poorly
Hanging on her every word every letter
I hung onto every word and letter she uttered or wrote
But I can’t shake the feeling that she’ll never move on
Despite that, I can't shake the feeling that she won't move on
So I’ll fake a smile when I say go ahead and go I’ll be okay
I will pretend to be okay and wear a fake smile when she decides to leave
'Cause I really didn’t wanna settle down anyway
Because, truthfully, I never really wanted to settle down anyway
I never did like the morning light shinin’ down on her face
I never liked the morning light shining on her face
It never made me wonder how long Heaven might let an Angel stay
It never made me wonder how long an angel might stay in heaven
And I didn’t like the way she would sing and dance around the kitchen
I didn't like the way she sang and danced in the kitchen
And I ain’t gonna miss untangling her line every time I go fishing
I won't miss untangling her fishing line every time I go fishing
'Cause there’s no way to tell her that I think about forever
I can't convey to her my thoughts about forever
When her last forever just went so wrong
Her last committed relationship ended poorly
Hanging on her every word every letter
I hung onto every word and letter she uttered or wrote
But I can’t shake the feeling that she’ll never move on
Despite that, I can't shake the feeling that she won't move on
So I’ll fake a smile when I say go ahead and go I’ll be okay
I will pretend to be okay and wear a fake smile when she decides to leave
'Cause I really didn’t wanna settle down anyway
Because, truthfully, I never really wanted to settle down anyway
And I’ll be praying for the day
I will pray for the day when I truly believe what I say
I believe it when I say
I'll believe it when I say it
That there’s no way to tell her that I think about forever
I can't convey to her my thoughts about forever
When I know forever’s bound to come to and end
I acknowledge that forever is bound to come to an end
Hanging on her every word every letter
I hung onto every word and letter she uttered or wrote
Knowing damn well she’s more break than bend
Realizing she is more likely to break than bend
So I’ll fake a smile when I say I’ll hit the road and I’ll be okay
I will pretend to be okay and wear a fake smile when I decide to leave
'Cause I really didn’t wanna settle down anyway
Because, truthfully, I never really wanted to settle down anyway
