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