Never Meant To Be

Tony Rice

Intro verse 1 In the darkness of the night, all I hear is a ringing in my ears And my eyes are full of tears that I can't see And I'll see comfort in bad places, and I'm trying to forget the faces But the many friends will say, that it was never meant to be And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be Though you once told me we'd always be as one. And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be." Interlude verse 2 Well, it left some damage in my wake, but I have the liberty to take the time to say "It ain't all my fault alone” I've been deceived and I've been forced to leave, my anger and my greaving In a heart that’s still believing, it was always meant to be." And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be Though you once told me we'd always be as one. And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be." Interlude verse 2 You have turned your beauty and your charme into a weapon of badly harm, the man you said, Was the best friend you've been knowing Then, your ways are justified, by stubborn foolish pride. And the price is payed by me, because that’s the way it’s meant to be. And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be Though you once told me we'd always be as one. And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be." Interlude verse 3 There is no dignity in remaining; love ain't worth retaining, anymore So let’s just do each other in. And leave the sadness and the fury, the judgement of a jury And the signature that’s saying, "it was never meant to be." And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be Though you once told me we'd always be as one. And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be." Outro And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
