She wasn't what I was looking for
By James Torrey
Verse 1
I was chasing down a dream on a dusty backroad,
Thinking love was something wild I had to lasso and hold.
Had a picture in my mind of the girl I thought I’d adore,
But life’s got a way of showing you you’re wrong to keep score.
Chorus
She wasn’t what I was looking for,
But she was everything I needed.
Came in quiet through a half‑open door,
While my stubborn heart pleaded.
I thought I knew love, but I’d never seen it before—
No, she wasn’t what I was looking for.
Verse 2
She didn’t fit the stories that I told my friends,
Didn’t match the kind of ending I thought I’d defend.
But she laughed at my jokes, saw the good in my flaws,
And somehow, she healed me without knowing the cause.
Chorus
She wasn’t what I was looking for,
But she was everything I needed.
Came in quiet through a half‑open door,
While my stubborn heart pleaded.
I thought I knew love, but I’d never seen it before—
No, she wasn’t what I was looking for.
Bridge
Funny how the right one comes along
When you’re busy chasing all the wrong.
Turns out love don’t follow plans,
It just takes your heart and gently lands.
Final Chorus
She wasn’t what I was looking for,
But now she’s all I believe in.
If I’d stuck to what I wanted before,
I’d have missed the life we’re weaving.
Sometimes the best things walk in through the side door—
No, she wasn’t what I was looking for.
