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