lyrics

Have another drink my friend
We’ll reminisce about way back when
Trying to forget, but remembering
The mistakes that you made

And your plodding days and fleeting nights
When you’re by yourself, turn out the lights
And your shadows box all through the night
But you look the other way

It wasn’t meant to be
It wasn’t meant to be
Open your eyes and see
It wasn’t meant to be

And you’re waiting there for luck or chance
While your ghosts they stir, your demons dance
And you know it just doesn’t make no sense
But you do it any way

And how you think and how you feel
The hidden truths you won’t reveal
And the myth you live, you know ain’t real
But it’s a role you like to play

It wasn’t meant to be
It wasn’t meant to be
Stop your wandering, aimlessly
It wasn’t meant to be
