Meant to Be
Heartbreak Echoes: Unraveling the Painful Tale of Meant to Be
Lyrics
Leaving is hard to do
Leaving is a difficult decision.
But I knew we wouldn't make it through
The speaker anticipated the relationship's inability to endure.
I knew it wasn't right to stay
Recognizing the need to leave as it wasn't the right choice to stay.
When I was bleeding out
The speaker felt emotionally wounded.
I tried my best not to make a sound
Struggling in silence to avoid showing vulnerability.
So you would think that I'm okay
Pretending to be okay externally despite inner turmoil.
I know that I will be replaced
Acceptance that someone else will take the speaker's place.
I know that I will be replaced
Reiteration of the inevitability of being replaced.
Looking back I wish I had seen
Regret for not realizing earlier how the partner caused pain.
All the ways that you hurt me
Reflecting on the various ways the partner caused emotional harm.
I'm feeling so alone tonight
Feeling a profound sense of loneliness in the present moment.
Even at seventeen
Recalling a time of youth at the age of seventeen.
We had the world at our feet
During adolescence, the couple seemed to have endless possibilities.
You didn't want that world with me
Realizing the partner didn't want a future together.
We've fallen out of touch
Experiencing a loss of connection and communication.
It'd be a lie to say I wasn't crushed
Admitting to feeling deeply hurt by the separation.
I never wanted things to change
Initial resistance to change, wanting things to stay the same.
But now it's hard for me to sing
Expressing the difficulty of singing about painful memories.
About these broken memories
Struggling with the emotional weight of broken memories.
It's hard to go on without you
Expressing the difficulty of moving forward without the partner.
And after all that we've been through
Reflecting on the shared experiences and hardships.
Find another someone to lie to
Suggesting the ex-partner will find someone else to deceive.

You didn't want that world with me
Emphasizing that the partner didn't want a future together (repeated).
Even though we weren't meant to be
Concluding that the relationship was not meant to be.
