What Was I Thinking?

from Songs From The Green Couch by Seth Swirsky

/

lyrics

I’m in love at least I thought I was
Till I found it wasn’t really love
After all it was close enough
That’s all it had to be.

I told her that we had grown apart
Before I checked in with my heart
Maybe that wasn’t very smart
but that’s all history

What was I thinking when I said goodbye
Now I’m alone and I realize
In my life you were the best thing
What was I thinking?

Memories of our days gone by
Like a breeze blowing through my mind
And I wish I could go back in time
To how we used to be

What was I thinking when I said goodbye
Now I’m alone and I realize
In my life you were the best thing
What was I thinking?

Now someone else gets to hear your laughter
But that’s the price I gotta pay
For letting you get away

What was I thinking when I said goodbye
Now I’m alone and I realize
In my life you were the best thing
What was I thinking? What was I thinking?

Notes on song:
Sometimes there’s a fine line between being with someone and not being with them. And there are always consequences to whichever way it ends up.
