Not Meant To Be Lyrics

I was never born to live the life that you and I were sculpting out of stone

I was never born to look into your eyes and feel like I was still alone

I was never born to do the things that I was never born to do

I was never born to settle for contentment

And I wasn't born to be with you

I was never meant to travel down a highway just to hide from misery

I was never meant to check into the first hotel that shouted

Vacancy

I was never meant to do the things that I was never meant to do

I was never meant to say

This is good enough

Okay

And I wasn't meant to be with you

I was never very clever wearing leather

Or whenever cloudy weather tarred and feathered what I do

When the voices and their noises

Making choices drive rolls royces

Through this sentimental nightmare at zoo

When the dealer starts his dealing

And my eyes roll towards the ceiling

I can't feel what I'm not feeling to be true

I was never meant to wake up with a love I had to make up

And I wasn't meant to be with you

I was never destine to be checking up

On someone else's daughter on the wrong side of the road

I was never destine to be begging for respect

When the load shark called and told me what I owed

I was never destine to be selling out my soul

For the lack of something better I could do

I was never destine to be close enough to paradise

And I wasn't destine to be with you

I was never very clever wearing leather

Or whenever cloudy weather tarred and feathered what I do

When the voices and their noises

Making choices drive rolls royces

Through this sentimental nightmare at zoo

When the dealer starts his dealing

And my eyes roll towards the ceiling

I can't feel what I'm not feeling to be true

I was never meant to wake up with a love I had to make up

And I wasn't meant to be with you

I was never born to live the life that you and I were sculpting out of stone

I was never born to look into your eyes and feel like I was still alone

I was never born to do the things that I was never born to do

I was never born to settle for contentment

And I wasn't born to be with you

I was never meant to say

This is good enough okay

And I wasn't meant to be with you

I was never meant to be

Close enough to paradise

And I wasn't destine to be with you

I was never meant to wake up

With a love I had to make up

And I wasn't meant to be with you
