Lyrics

It Wasn't Meant To Be

[Verse 1]

Your eyes all crystallized and welling in the dark

Call me a shooting star and hold my bloody heart

You punched right through it

Was nothing to it

Lying next to you

Forgetting every single night

[Chorus]

Cuz it’s you and me

Like Sid and Nancy

I can barely keep my head up

It wasn’t meant to be

It wasn’t meant to be

It’s only in my dreams

Make my bed go to sleep

[Verse 2]

Love me like a bomb and leave me shattered falling in the blue

Everything you tell me keeps me fading into you

Yeah you always knew it

And you cut right through it

Lying next to you

Pretеnding every single night

[Chorus]

Cuz it’s you and mе

Like Sid and Nancy

I can barely keep my head up

It wasn’t meant to be

It wasn’t meant to be

It’s only in my dreams

Make my bed go to sleep

[Post-Chorus]

Make my bed go to sleep

Make my bed go to sleep

Yeah you always knew it

You cut right through it

[Chorus]

Cuz it’s you and me

Like Sid and Nancy

I can barely keep my head up

It wasn’t meant to be

It wasn’t meant to be

It’s only in my dreams

Make my bed go to sleep

[Outro]

Make my bed go to sleep

It wasn’t meant to be
