"I Thought You" lyrics

It's hard to love two things at once
"You don't know what you want" is what she'd say to me
You're the rolling stone who's on the run
Who never has enough time for me

Well, that's a lie, I beg to differ
'Cause when I wasn't working I was with her
It was sweet, now it's kind of bitter
And you're a thousand miles from me

I thought you'd stay
And we'd get married and have kids someday
But you said my career got in the way
Why is that the price I have to pay?
I thought you

On TV and movie screens
That's the only time now she ever looks at me
You let me go so I could live my dreams
Without you, what's that mean?

Because through all the parties and the drugs
It still wasn't enough
'Cause you weren't there when I woke up
So now I find better than the one

'Cause you didn't stay
We were supposed to get married and have kids someday
But you said my career got in the way
Why is it the price I have to pay?
I thought you'd stay

And we'd buy a big house with a fireplace
Somewhere all our grandchildren could play
Why'd you have to go and take it all away?
I thought you'd stay
