[Intro: Richard Rogers]

We had the world, held it in our fists

But couldn't keep a grip

So now we're losing it


[Verse 1: Richard Rogers]

So this is where we're at

Fucked up and both on the attack

Two screaming lovers stuck and only wishing

They could take it all back

Only cynical, sympathy's a trait we learned to let go

Spilling guts to make a mess

These words have weight, they're not just threats


[Pre-Chorus: Wade Walters]

The only way that this could possibly end

Is with two strangers who can't even try to pretend they're friends

And I'm not your friend


[Chorus: Richard Rogers]

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

I'm no good for you and you're worse for me

But we're both too scared to leave

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

We always fix it up, just to fuck it up

Resent, repent, repeat


[Verse 2: Richard Rogers]

So this is all that's left, eight wasted years we can't get back

I only wish we could revise our time spent to avoid all this regret

But what's done is done

The past is dead, except you won't leave it alone

Spilling guts to make a mess

These words have weight, they're not just threats


[Pre-Chorus: Wade Walters]

If time was all it took for us to grow apart

Then I guess you never really cared for me

Like you said at the start

It's clear you lied, you lied, you lied

But this is the last time

Say your goodbyes, this is my last line


[Chorus: Richard Rogers]

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

I'm no good for you and you're worse for me

But we're both too scared to leave

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

We always fix it up, just to fuck it up

Resent, repent, repeat


[Breakdown: Wade Walters]

Someday you'll see I'm not the enemy

I tried, you lied, it’s time to leave this fucking love behind

Back the fuck up off me cause I've had it

I've had enough, but you can't seem to stop it

You're only trying to hold onto us

Because you don't know where you would go on your own

You're just a lost soul


[Bridge: Richard Rogers]

We had the world, held it in our fist

But couldn't keep a grip

So now we're losing it

We're holding on to what's already gone

Fighting a war that we've already lost

I know it hurts, know it hurts

I know it hurts to be alone

But I think it's time, it's time to move on


[Chorus: Richard Rogers]

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

I'm no good for you and you're worse for me

But we're both too scared to leave

We're not meant to be (No)

We're not meant to be

We always fix it up, just to fuck it up

Resent, repent, repeat
