Lyrics
I thought
I could never feel this way -
That I had better keep away
From any feeling
That made me weak.
And I thought
That this lovely agony
Would never take ahold of me
In exchange for my ability
To speak.
So I'll use the only real voice
I have ever known -
And I hope you understand.
CHORUS: That love cannot be bargained
Love cannot be bought
Love cannot be planned -
Love isn't what I thought.
And I thought
That my emptiness inside.
Somehow I could let it slide.
And just accept it
As "the way things are."
And I thought
That I was different than the rest
That my sadness was a test
And I could 'pass ' it -
Somehow emerge un-scarred.
Oh, but now I think that maybe
There is something more -
Yes I think that I
Believe..
CHORUS: That love cannot be bargained
Love cannot be bought
Love cannot be planned -
Love isn't what I thought.
