Meant to Be (For a While

Title: “Meant to Be (For a While)”

Verse 1:
It started with a dare, a drink, a look across the room,
Two restless hearts just chasing something new.
We swore it was nothing, no strings, no plans,
Just borrowed time and each other’s hands.

Pre-Chorus:
But laughter turned to talking ‘til the morning light,
Every secret spilled felt so damn right.

Chorus:
We were never supposed to fall,
But we built a fire too strong to stall.
We found a truth we couldn’t deny,
Made love like the world was passing by.
It wasn’t for forever, just for a time—
But oh, we were meant to be… for a while.

Verse 2:
Your shirt on my chair, your scent on my skin,
We played house in the mess we were in.
You’d call me late just to say goodnight,
Those little words used to light me up inside.
Now I stare at my phone through the silence and pain,
Your name doesn’t flash—but I check it anyway.

Pre-Chorus:
Now I drive past your street but don’t turn around,
Love’s ghost still lingers in this town.

Chorus:
We were never supposed to fall,
But we built a fire too strong to stall.
We found a truth we couldn’t deny,
Made love like the world was passing by.
It wasn’t for forever, just for a time—
But oh, we were meant to be… for a while.

Bridge:
Tears came quiet, hearts came undone,
What we had can’t be outdone.
There’s no villain, no one to blame,
Just two souls who couldn’t stay the same.

Final Chorus:
We were never supposed to fall,
But the memory still answers when you call.
I still feel your hand in mine,
In another life, maybe we’d have tried.
It wasn’t forever—but for a time,
We were meant to be… and that’s just fine.

Outro:
Now the nights are long and the screen stays still,
I scroll through your words just to feel that thrill.
It’s quiet now, but I’ll smile for a mile—
‘Cause we were real, if only for a while.
