I Thought It Was You
Andy Bell & Jake Shears Lyrics

I thought it was you, I thought it was you
I believed that it was you, the person I had feelings for, until my heart's sudden acceleration made me realize that it wasn't.

I thought it was you 'til my heart went bang
My heart's rapid beating helped me understand that you were not the right person for me.

And drifted into something better
Following my realization, my heart started attracting me to someone better.

Something that I thought I'd never
I never thought that I would find someone better than you.

I've been on the ceiling, still around to tell
I have experienced highs and lows in regards to love, but I am still here to tell about it.

I've been on the pavement and I've been in the stairwell
I have gone through both good and bad times, both high and low points.

Taking numbers from a certain someone
I have been interested in someone else and have taken their number.

You don't know them
The person that I have taken the number from is someone that you are not aware of.

Didn't seem to matter, walked without a care
I did not care about the consequences and walked without a care.

Ran right in the rush hour
I ran during the busiest time of the day.

Just to get you out of my hair
My motivation was to forget about you and move on.

Dirty weather never flattened my complexion, really
My problems and obstacles have not affected me as much as they could have.

You've gone out of fashion, you've gone off the dial
You are no longer in trend or fashionable.

Tender navigation doesn't fit in with my style
I no longer like to go through gentle or tender navigation.

For less attention to the minor details of intention
I have started paying less attention to minor intentions.

Told me in the mirror, told me on the vine
I have heard this message from others and also through introspecting in front of a mirror.

Couldn't make it clearer
The message regarding us has become quite clear.

If you put it up in lights in Broadway
Even if the message was put up in lights in a popular place like Broadway, it couldn't have been much clearer.

Here's your one way ticket to your closing nights
This message meant the end of our relationship and an end to your good times.

Suddenly, I'm [Incomprehensible] and you're not me
I have a sudden realization that I am someone different and incompatible with who you are.

And frankly me, you never will be
It is clear that we cannot be together or be the same person.

As I walk all way, you kissed my foot steps
You seemed to have trailed me and followed in my footsteps.

I will not look behind me
I am not interested in looking back at our past relationship.

Never find me, never find me
You will not be able to find me or seek me out again.
