Lyrics
I thought this was the one
I thought my day had come
your text said 'Call me now'
an my heart raced
it still could be
Though I'd said I didn't care
inside I couldn't bear
the thought of losing now
and that's what I faced
Cos it still could be
If I could see it wasn't meant to be
maybe in time I'll be back for me
If I can see it wasn't meant to be
I still know every word
like it had just been heard
you tried to ease the blow
guess I should thank you
but what else could you do
You said it could be worse
but my life's in reverse
the truth is very clear
I wonder when you knew
what you were gonna do
If I could see it wasn't meant to be
maybe in time I'll be back for me
If I can see it wasn't meant to be
One day I'll wake and it'll be alright
just hope I make it throught the night
Back at the journey's start
I know with all my heart
I'll be back again
a different place and time
And it'll all be fine
If I could see it wasn't meant to be
maybe in time I'll be back for me
If I can see it wasn't meant to be
