歌词
You Were Meant For Me
I hear the clock it's 6am
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I knida like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off all the mirror.Don't leave the keys in my door
I never put wet towels on the floor anymore
Cause Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
I called my momma she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
So I picked up a paper it was more bad news
More hearts being broken and people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
Cause it was happy and I was sad
And it made me miss you oh so bad
I go about my business I'm doing fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story not much to say
Hearts are broken every day
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the lights on
I pick a book up and I turn the sheets down
And I take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I shouldn't think anymore tonight
Cause Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
And I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Yeah you were meant for me
And I was meant for you
