Until I Saw the Light

I thought I had it all planed out Until it all just changed. I thought my love would last forever Until she left me estranged. I thought it could all be fixed Until she said no way. Still I hoped it could work out Until she moved away. I thought a degree was all I need Until the economy took a dive. Tried to hold out for a job I want Until I needed one to survive. I thought I possessed all the skills Until I saw what was required. Was hoping I find that perfect job Until this all transpired. I was just about to give up hope Until I remembered all the good. I gave up way too easily Until I finally understood.
