lyrics

Meant To Be

I’m no longer naïve. I’m not sleeping anymore.
Despite the words you thought I’d never get over
You’re always searching for something more that
I’m obviously not. I was never what you’d want

Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?

Let me ask you something and then I’ll walk away
How can you pull off your tact’s with such grace?
There is nothing more that I can do now
To try & plead my case or for me to set things straight

Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?

There’s no need to thank me.
(There’s) No need to patronize.
I know exactly how this turned out for you.
(There’s) No need to further imply
(That) I should be happy for you.
When you used me to get everything you wanted.

Everything was ok, until the moment that you opened up your mouth
Everything was ok, until the moment that you spoke sarcastic lies
Maybe this is how it was meant to be?

Why not?
(it’s) not enough. (it’s) not enough. Everything to you is not good enough.
