[Verse 1]

I came after the storm had come through your life

I came after he stole the light from your eyes

It was the ultimate act of selfishness

I never wanted to it to be like this

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish I could go back in time

To skip a hurt that always tries to define

[Chorus]

I never wanted it to be like this

I never wanted it to be like this

Resolution needs to be more swift

God help us get through it

[Verse 2]

You've tossed and turned every single night since then

Wishing and hoping for things to have never been

He lives his life with the greener grass on the other side

You were the one who was forced to run and hide

[Verse 3]

But, you're stronger than you know

These trials and tests will help you learn and grow

Trust in your purpose and know you're not worthless

There's so much more inside than what's on the surface

[Chorus]

I never wanted it to be like this

I never wanted it to be like this

Resolution is advancing quick

God help us get through it

[Bridge]

We'll see the day

Where you don't have to pray

For God to erase these thoughts from your head

We'll see the day

When he'll have to lay

In the grave that he dug for you

But it's his

But it's his instead

[Chorus]

I never wanted it to be this way

I never wanted it to be this way

Resolution has now come and gone

God was there all along
