It Wasn't Meant To Be

It's the start of the show

I'm choosin' my words carefully

Don't want there to be any misunderstandings

But I stand by the things that I said

There will be no retraction

I'm not tryna go emo

Hurt people, hurt people or somethin' like that (somethin' like that)

Did I overstep the mark?

It was the wrong time for us, no hard feelings

You'll be the one that got away

You'll be the one that could've changed things

You recited your lines, but I'm left cold

I suspect we could be happier

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

I'm choosin' my words carefully

I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression

But there will be no apology

Let's settle up and keep this shit movin'

There's a time to be humble

There's a time to be proud

There's a time to be complicit

And there's a time to say shit loud

(It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be) to say shit loud

(It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be) yeah, you made me get loud

(It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be) see, there you are

(It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be) the real you at last

I hit a nerve, we're right back there

I'm lettin' you down at your birthday table

I know I should've stopped myself

But I felt for a while that this thing was over

A year from now, we'll laugh about this

A year from now, just like old friends

You'll be a scar I've learned to live with

Once we see ourselves from the outside

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be (from the outside)

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

It wasn't meant, it wasn't meant to be

There's a version of our future

Where I said the right things to you consistently

There's a version of our future
