Lyrics

You and I when we were married
You drew a picture of New York
It was more than I could carry
So I threw it on the floor
But not before I tore to pieces
Everything I knew you loved
Not before I prayed to Jesus
For the strength from up above

CHORUS:
Whoever thought that this could happen?
Whoever thought that this could be?
You do not love me any longer
And I don’t like the man I see

You took a job down at the warehouse
We had a baby on the way
You moved right up into the office
You came home later everyday
I spent my minutes in the kitchen
Trying to make myself believe
This was the life I’d always wanted
This was the woman I would be

CHORUS

And the children grew like whispers
Soft and quietly disguised
No one could see it on the surface
But you could feel it from their eyes
We both pretended not to notice
And the days kept going by
Every night we prayed to Jesus
While we told each other lies

CHORUS

So you found somebody younger
Somebody prettier than me
I hope she tells you what you want to hear
I hope she sees the man you see
Run along and get away now
Cover up the life you’ve made
Go tell the children that you love them
Try to believe the words you say

Whoever thought that this could happen?
Whoever thought that this could be?
