[Verse 1: Eret]
G#m F#
Ever since I was a kid
D#m C#m
I wanted to reach the stars
G#m F#
I was born to sit on a throne
D#m C#m
Not collect battle scars
G#m F#
Your loyalty is cute
D#m C#m
But it's what makes you weak
G#m F#
Friendship means nothing
D#m C#m
'Cause it's power that I seek
[Chorus: Eret]
G#m D#m
It was never meant to be
F#m C#m
Now I'm king of the SMP
G#m D#m
This was my destiny
F# C#m
So it was never meant to be
[Verse 2: Wilbur]
G#m F#
L'Manburg once was beautiful
D#m C#m
And good and pure
G#m F#
But now that it's perverted
D#m C#m
I have nothing to live for
G#m F#
My nation no longer exists
D#m C#m
This imitation must burn
G#m F#
Maybe when their world turns to ash
D#m C#m
They'll all finally learn
[Chorus: Wilbur]
G#m D#m
It was never mеant to be
F# C#m
My great unfinished symphony
G#m D#m
My country will diе with me
F# C#m
'Cause it was never meant to be
[Verse 3: Niki]
G#m F#
Wil tried to set us free
D#m C#m
But these men won't let go
G#m F#
Even if we rebuild
D#m C#m
This will never again be our home
G#m F#
There's nothing left
D#m C#m
But a ghost
G#m F#
The last piece destroyed
D#m C#m
By the girl who loved it most
[Chorus: Niki]
G#m D#m
It was never meant to be
F# C#m
That's why I burned down that damned tree
G#m D#m
Nothing left but a memory
F# C#m
For it was never meant to be
