lyrics

Not To Be

i remember saturdays gone by
when i sat there in my room and cried
for all the things that might have been
i wondered why you weren’t my queen

‘cause it was not to be, not to be

i had it backwards from the start
i went and let you break my heart
and though i could’ve run away
sucker for punishment l stay

and it was not to be, not to be

along the hills and through the grass
the snake was here long before us
and as i walked my chest was bare
she went and stuck her fangs in there

‘cause it was not to be, not to be

looking back today
it just fades away
into the sky just like a blue balloon

it’s so hard to say
why we act the way
we do when we’re not going nowhere soon
