Who I Thought I Was

If I hold my mouth just right
I might speak in tongues tonight
If I put the right words on top of, just the right chords
I might be, who I thought I was
If you believed half of what I said
And a quarter of the things I said I did
I’d be eighty years old, with a voice made out of gold
If I was, who I thought I was
All jabs and jokes aside
Every sin is based on pride
And all the lies you told
Like a bag will come unstowed
And spill out somewhere along the ride
Thank whoever is above
Someone called my bluff
And by the collar took, me firmly off the hook
And I’m not who I thought I was
I’m not who I thought I was
I’m not who I thought I was
