[Verse 1] You don't know nothing 'bout me
I don't know nothing 'bout you, now (Now)
I thought it would never be us
Another flame into dust, now (Now)

[Pre-Chorus] And maybe it took a mistake (Oh, higher, higher)
To see you were always this way (Oh, higher, oh, higher, higher)

[Chorus] Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (Not what I)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (Not what I)

[Verse 2] You said there was no one like me
Thought we would never be one, night (Night)
Lovers (Lovers)
And I thought you would never treat
The way you that treated the rest of 'em (The rest of 'em)
You lifted me higher

[Pre-Chorus] And maybe it took a mistake (Oh, higher, higher)
To see you were always this way (Oh, higher, oh, higher, higher)

[Chorus] Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (Not what I)
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought (Not what I)

[Outro] Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought
Not what I thought it was
Not what I thought
Not what I thought
Higher
