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