Prettyman, Tristan - I Was Gonna Marry You Lyrics






I gotta go
Time to spread my wings and fly
Higher than the blue sky
Never did me any good
Waiting around
Only so much that my heart can take
It doesn’t matter what you say
Wishing for all we could have been

Just so you know, just so you know
I never thought you'd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you

I gotta stay
As far away as I can get
Cause a part of me hasn’t left
If I get too close you're gonna pull me back in to
Thinking everything you said was true
But the ring around my finger proved
That I was your girl
But in the end it wasn’t what you wanted

Just so you know just so you know
I never thought you'd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you
Yeah I was gonna marry you

Take all the words you’ve spoken
And the promises you’ve broken
And throw them all into the ocean
And let it be
And late at night
When you're lying in your bed alone
Wishing it was still our home
But we both know its too late

Just so you know just so you know
I never thought you'd let me go
I don’t even know the truth
Yeah we were fine, yeah we were fine
Then all at once you changed your mind
And I was gonna marry you
I was gonna marry you.

  1. C.... M....

    Tris, we let him know for you.
    Did, honest




    Bill Lee, "Jim".

  2. W.... H....

    i had no idea she was blonde

  3. A.... A....

    i wish someone would break her heart so that we all could sing along to songs of heartache & relate... her songs always got me through the dark & made me see light. but, that’s me being selfish & i much rather see her happy than torn apart by some douche. i love her, & ya know maybe her success will be her best revenge. she should definitely show everyone what she’s made of. i’ve seen her in concert many times & have gotten post cards from her in the mail. no other artists that i know of do such a thing. she’s got an amazing heart & that’s what keeps me coming back to her music - there’s a song for every funk i’m in. Much Love.

    A.... A....

    Well she did just go through a divorce......

  4. A.... A....

    Pure talent Goddess.

  5. H.... S....

    Found her “personal Facebook” (where her fans wouldn’t know where to find her) and she’s married now and looks happy:))

    H.... S....

    Actually she's divorced. I guess that needs some updating.

    H.... S....

    Matrimonio. ❤️

    Sì, stavamo bene, sì, stavamo bene
    E ti avrei sposato💏💍
    l'anello intorno al mio dito ha dimostrato 💍
    che ero la tua ragazza
    E ti avrei sposato ❤️️
    si ti avrei sposato❤️️
    Quando sei sdraiato nel tuo letto da solo
    e Desideri tornare a casa
    non ho mai pensato di lasciarti andare
    ne avrei mai pensato che mi avresti lasciato andare
    Io ti avrei sposato

  19. J.... R....

    jason mraz <3

  20. E.... ....

    Jason Mraz you don' goofed !

  21. D.... ....

    Awesome motorcycle @ 2:27

  22. T.... ....

    What dick brings his girlfriend to a beach, then drives off on his motorcycle.

    T.... ....

    Read the letter 1:25 "The best way (to) say goodbye is to go back where it started. The truth is..."

    T.... ....

    It actually makes the whole video a lot more sense 👌

    T.... ....

    TroyaE117 lots of you're speaking metaphorical

  23. S.... C....

    Why love has to be so difficult?

    S.... C....

    Stafany Camargo Because it's a feeling most people (woman) can't control. It's actually just humanity that depends on it... Don't rely everything on me

  24. M.... ....

    I was gonna marry you

    but then I got high

  25. F.... ....

    ... Why does the girl have to look like my ex, dog dammit. How am I supposed to get over her :(

    F.... ....

    Listen to Tristan's other song "Say anything", maybe it helps, but it's more a song for when you are gonna break up... Just listen, music always describes a feeling ;)

  26. F.... F....

    The beach would've been ruined for me

  27. K.... K....

    So Sad... for Jason Mraz... it hurts...

    K.... K....

    It was Jason Mraz that broke it off

  28. N.... A....

    NiseLov

  29. B.... S....

    Still waiting for a glass jar music video xxx please!!!!

  30. B.... D....

    Wow....I was in Tristan's position 3 years ago. Engament failed cause she broke it off for absolutely no/unknown reason. Then 3 years later she hit me up to reconnect the bridge, but its too late.

    B.... D....

    I am currently dealing with what you just described. I had this amazing connection with this guy for about 2 years; but he was immature when it came to making decisions. He said he wanted to get married, but there were too many things in the way. He tried for a long time to keep me around by lying about his intentions and dangling empty; asking me to accept the ambiguity . But I had enough. We parted ways for five years. After a failed marriage and false starts with a few new women he came back into my life. He wants it all back just as he remembers. And now he is promising this time its the real deal. Now he knows I was what he had wanted and needed all this time. As much as I still love him there is this sad realization that its too late. I dealt with this already and shed enough tears. I haven't found the courage to let him go. I am unhappy being back with him. So listening to this song until I figure it all out. I hope things are better for you though.

    B.... D....

    I hope you went on to realize that you are better than him and don't need him because he sounds like he didn't appreciate your worth. It's not just about HIM wanting what you once had and what he wants, but you too. Did he ever think about that himself?

  31. B.... D....

    This is for Jason Mraz btw if you guys didn't know

    B.... D....

    yeah, but they're both married to other people now. still a great song/great album.

  32. M.... O....

    😍😍😍🌹🎶

  33. S.... B....

    One of my favorites

  34. J.... H....

    Very beautiful video of a sad life story. love this so much.. I've been enjoying music for almost 60 years now and I had thought that everyone had forgotten how to put their heart and soul into their songs.. Very lovely...

  35. k.... ....

    This breaks my heart.

  36. g.... l....

    this song is sad >.<

  37. m.... ....

    Watching this on the day Jason Mraz got married to his (now I know- 2nd) fiancee.

  38. N.... S....

    Why isn't this song (or album) on iTunes?

  39. S.... G....

    She should have stolen his motorcycle

  40. K.... M....

    My heart ache with this song.

  41. W.... R....

    Maravilhosa Tristan, uma grande descoberta, uma delicia ouvi-la !!!

  42. T.... H....

    Icing on the cake :'(

  43. P.... ....

    She sounded like Katy Perry to be honest

  44. l.... ....

    So basically, the guy (who is based on Jason Mraz) made her think that they were going on some kind of romantic trip, brought her to the place where they either first met or began their relationship, and set up a nice camping spot, all while he was basically writing a dear john letter to her? What was the point of going on the nature hike, going on a romantic walk on a beach during a sunset, and then taking photos with her, if he was only going to dump her afterwards? He built up her expectations so high only to shatter it at the climax. That is so cowardly and quite possibly the most cold-heated, and honestly maliciously cruel, way to end a relationship. You can't be that naive to plan such an ill-intended break up subconsciously he had to have wanted to hurt her.

    l.... ....

    Actually Mraz, in reaction to the song and video, said she "really put it all out there."

    l.... ....

    lucariomew358/2 i think the beach setting on the video is because jason mraz set up a surprise proposal on a beach since they both love surfing.

    l.... ....

    That's her question, I think.

    l.... ....

    Old comment is old, but that's exactly what my ex did to me. We spent the week doing all of our favourite things, and then the day before our vacation was over he took me to the park where he first told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and told me he didnt love me anymore, at least not like he used to.

    l.... ....

    @Jessica Barker 😭😭😭

  45. B.... W....

    I knew this song before I saw the video, but this just made it even more depressing.

  46. s.... ....

    I'm tired of being angry and hurt anytime something makes me think of you.. I loved you and I was going to marry you... I don't understand.. every promise you made you broke. I would have lived for you and died for you... ):

  47. M.... M....

    For it to be you. You would need to transform into the most loving soul that's ever existed.
    Near twin, but not.

  48. H.... G....

    This is a terrible irony....this is exactly how my break up happened. Life is cruel sometimes...

    H.... G....

    @Stephanie Sicily sorry to hear that.... i hope you manage to heal well from it.....

  49. M.... J....

    Is this song specifically written for Jason? Just saying... breakingbup is sooo hard to do..

    M.... J....

    +Medeline Jayasaputra yep because Jason brokeup with him

    M.... J....

    +Vanessa Lachica I see... Jason broke up with her... so sad but glad she is married now... 😊

    M.... J....

    @Medeline Jayasaputra In fact everything in her album Gold + Cedar was all about the breakup of her and Jason

    M.... J....

    +Vanessa Lachica OH SO THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHINGGGG!!!!! That album is the best! everuthing works out well with her though..

    M.... J....

    +Medeline Jayasaputra She used this album as an opportunity to move on from the breakup (because literally this album is the complete opposite of Jason's "LOVE is a four letter word" plus look at Glass Jar and I Wont Give Up) but cause Jason is a humble person, he was still happy for Tristan for stating the truth in all of the songs and happy that she found herself a husband.


    Also Jason and Tristan are now friends again, she said in an interview that they are friends again and if she needs an avocado, she knows Jason would give some to her (cause Jason has like a big farm in his house)

  50. M.... F....

    Worse than the old show Star Search Ed Mcmahon

  51. A.... F....

    Well, that hit me right in the heart!

  52. A.... C....

    Holy fuck am I alone or is that dude really fucking hot??!?!?!

  53. p.... ....

    My breakup song of 2015.  Yay me. 

    p.... ....

    +poisondartfrog43 Stay strong...the sun will shine on your back porch someday! (and it happens quicker than ya' think)

  54. T.... ....

    Well that just made me super sad!

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

  57. H.... G....

    I'm not even going through this and yet it still speaks to me.

  58. H.... H....

    The couple remind me of Rapunzel and Flynn from Tangled..

  59. s.... ....

    Lol, this song makes me hate Jason Mraz. 

    s.... ....

    I know!  I was a fan of his long before I ever heard of Tristan, but after knowing their story, I have a hard time liking his music and not thinking he's a jerk.

    s.... ....

    @Kay Tee he should have broke it off before he planned a trip with her gave her a ring tweeted about it and broke it off with in a week or two  his music is great but he smokes too much weed wake up jason you f'd up big time

    s.... ....

    @suzyrain2000us Yeah he might have really f'd up, but I saw Tristan live last week and she said she just got married in August. She seems really, really happy so in the end she's better off. 

    s.... ....

    Yeah glad she's happy

    s.... ....

    @Mara McBride Wow, thanks for the info, I'm happy for her. :)

  60. T.... C....

    Does that mean we won't hear any new version of Shy that way? I'm sad. But I'm with Tristan always. She is such a true person

  61. S.... d....

    Fez essa música para mim, só pode!

  62. s.... ....

    I love this tune cause I went through it

  63. a.... ....

    jason mraz is a cool dude, but he's crazy to let go of this beautiful and talented woman.

  64. t.... a....

    Love this song.... I fell in love with it the moment I heard it

  65. B.... C....

    such an honest song of love and loss and grief. It helped me get through a very dark time.

  66. R.... J....

    Her voice is so unique.I love it

  67. J.... J....

    Doesn't always seem to happen like this?  when you give every piece of your soul to a person they somehow are unable to see your love… 

  68. A.... D....

    Jason Mraz and your fake song about "not giving up"... TAKE THAT!!!
    Tristan rules!

    A.... D....

    LOL it really isn't any of our business (That includes you too) soooo yeah....

    A.... D....

    Was this song  for Jason?

    A.... D....

    yeah, after he broke their engagement! 

    A.... D....

    Wishing he gave up not giving up

  69. Q.... L....

    I  was really gonna marry you! i don't know what happened.

  70. M.... L....

    John Goodman, that's not true or they would still be together. Watch his storytellers. He explains it all that he lost himself and in result lost her as he was questioning his life. He was on the verge of suicide and that's what "I won't give up" is about. He said they still talk but not a lot because a lot of damage was done and it's hard for both of them to relive the pain.

  71. s.... ....

    Pretty much the entire Cedar+Gold album is about her and Jason......and their breakup

  72. d.... ....

    Glass Jar was her response as well.

  73. T.... A....

    the response was the "Glass Jar"

  74. H.... C....

    Jason broke off the engagement cause he didn't feel it was fair for her and him to get married until there was marriage equality for all

  75. u.... ....

    This song has helped me get through some difficulties. Thank you

  76. j.... ....

    this song is beyond perfect

  77. P.... P....
