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