This Wasn’t Supposed To Happen To Me

Written with Kate Ceberano

This wasn’t supposed to happen to me
Not at all
I wasn’t supposed to be the one to fall
I’ve read about it in the books
And heard it in the songs
This foolishness was meant for others-not me
That’s where I was wrong
I thought I was untouchable

This wasn’t supposed to happen to me
That’s for sure
I’ve always been the one so in control
So safe, so secure
I’m stumbling around like a child
In a language that I’ve lost
Oh, to say the words, just throw them out
And forget about the cost
I thought I was untouchable

You disturb me
You with your stealthy ways
You slipped under my guard
Went straight for my heart

I’ve read about it in the books
And I’ve heard it in the songs
This foolishness belongs to others-not me
That’s where I was wrong
I thought I was untouchable
It’s just my pride that’s hanging on
This wasn’t supposed to happen to me
This wasn’t supposed to happen to me
