Never ment to be
by Ash
Lyrics
[Verse 1 - gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft male vocals with subtle reverb, intimate and melancholic]
I still see your smile in the morning light
Echoes of your laugh haunting my nights
We danced under stars, felt so alive
But now it's just memories I can't survive
[Pre-Chorus - building strings layer in softly, vocals gain quiet intensity, rising emotion]
Every whisper, every touch we shared
Faded like smoke in the cold, cold air
I tried to hold on, but it slipped away
Why does love hurt this way?
[Chorus - full acoustic strum with light percussion, heartfelt male vocals swelling with harmonies, anthemic sadness]
We were never meant to be
Just a beautiful tragedy
Hearts tangled, now set free
Never meant to be, you and me
Oh, it was never meant to be
[Verse 2 - sparse acoustic picking, vulnerable whispered vocals fading into spoken-word flow]
Late nights scrolling through old photos we took
Your voice in my head, like a ghost in the room
I replay the fights, the words we can't undo
Wishing I could turn back time for you
[Rap Break - mid-tempo acoustic rhythm with subtle beatbox undertones, rapid-fire male rap delivery with emotional ad-libs, raw confession energy]
Yo, I built these walls 'round my broken heart, replayin' our start
Thought we were fire, but we fell apart, leavin' scars in the dark
You were my rhythm, my beat, my spark, now I'm lost in the park
Walkin' alone, chasin' shadows of what we were, tearin' me apart
Never clicked right, like puzzle pieces forced, destiny divorced
I loved you fierce, but the universe enforced— we were never the course
[Chorus - richer acoustic layers with added pedal steel guitar, soaring male vocals with backing harmonies, deep poignant ache]
We were never meant to be
Just a beautiful tragedy
Hearts tangled, now set free
Never meant to be, you and me
Oh, it was never meant to be
[Outro - fading acoustic guitar arpeggios, distant reverb on echoing male vocals, slow decrescendo to silence]
Never meant... to be...
(whispers: you and me...)
