A Different Story

I was lost, broken up and busted
Running from the only one I should've trusted
And I was hurting down deep inside
Stumbling down a dark and a lonely road of my own design

I wouldn't listen to the song in my heart
It looked like I was winning, but I was falling apart

But he never stopped reaching for me
No, he wrote a different story

I was searching for something to hold
I tried to drown that empty feeling in my soul
Pushing down the pain, living in a lie
Leaning on that bottle far too many times

I couldn't hear those words that I'd been told
It looked like I had it all together, I was losing control

But he never stopped reaching for me
No, he wrote a different story
He never stopped reaching for me
No, he wrote a different story

He wrote a different story than the one I was living in (ooh)
He just kept on coming for me, time and again (ooh)
He never gave up on me (never gave up on me)
When I turned my back on him

Lately I've been kneeling every night
And I've got this feeling everything's gonna be all right
There's a plan and a new path before me (mm, mm)
I was giving in, but he wrote a different story (mm, mm)

Yeah, I could see the end, but he wrote a different story

He never stopped reaching for me (he never stopped reaching for me, no)
No, he wrote a different story (he had a different story, yeah)
He never stopped reaching for me (never stopped reaching for me, no)
No, he wrote a different story (reaching, reaching for me)

He never stopped coming for me (yeah, he's coming for me, yes)
'Cause, he wrote a different story (oh, oh, oh)
He never stopped reaching for me (he never stopped reaching for me, no)
No, he wrote a different story (he wrote a different story)

I was lost, broken up and busted
Running from the only one I should've trusted
