"Best Thing That Never Happened" lyrics

Tried to map life out
But it's a winding road
This new peace I found
Came wearing heart break's clothes, uh
Good thing I didn't get it my way
Still be rolling down the wrong highway
Don't know how I would've ever made it home

'Cause I've prayed, I've made plans
I've talked to the man upstairs
I swear sometimes he's just laughing
'Cause I've had things not work out
And then they turned out to be the best things that never happened
Happened to me, yeah
Happened to me, yeah

I chased a fool's gold rush
But I found some silver linings, yeah
There's no growing up without growing pains
Blessings wear disguises, uh
You'll see the bitter gets sweeter
Sometimes the grass is greener
When the things you want don't want you back

'Cause I've prayed, I've made plans
I've talked to the man upstairs
I swear sometimes he's just laughing
'Cause I've had things not work out
And then they turned out to be the best things that never happened
Happened to me, yeah
Happened to me, yeah

I finally see, I'm not in control
And I can just let go
'Cause I've prayed, I've made plans
I've talked to the man upstairs
I swear sometimes he's just laughing
'Cause I've had things not work out
And then they turned out to be the best things that never happened
Happened to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Happened to me (Oh, woah, woah)
Happened to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Happened to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

That was the best thing
That was the best thing
That never happened to me

That was the best thing
That was the best thing
That never happened to me
