It Was Not Meant to Be

Your expectations turn from grey to black
You have to get your independence back
Realization subtle as a heart attack
It was not meant to be

She wants to be a star and paint the town
That kind of person throws themselves around
And in your heart, I know you want to settle down
It was not meant to be
It was not meant to be
It was not meant for you
And you are no island

And there's significantly less to prove
And there's significantly more to lose
Walking a mile in someone else's shoes

Your expectations turn from grey to black
You have to get your independence back
Realization subtle as a heart attack
It was not meant to be
It was not meant to be
It was not meant for you
And you are no island
And you are no island
And you are no island
