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