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