This is not what I envisioned
Living here in Tennessee
When I dreamed about the future
I saw it going differently

Wasn't I supposed to prove them wrong
Singing night after night on the road?
Here I am folding blouses on stairs
Wondering where I went wrong

I remember lights were flashing
They were calling out my name
Now I look around and find my hard work on the ground
Thinking: Save me from this mess

Wasn't I supposed to prove them wrong
Singing night after night on the road?
Here I am folding blouses on stairs
Wondering where I went wrong

You want it bad but not half as bad as I want to leave
You want it bad but not half as bad as I want to
Leave here in one piece of me still holding onto a dream

All I wanted was to prove them wrong
Singing night after night on the road
Here I am with my head in my hands
Wondering where I went wrong
