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