Meant To Be Apart

They used to say I was the life of the party
But that was when I had you around
Now I’m on my own, putting words to our story
And you’re some distant airport bound

God knows we tried, and how we tried
Blissful days, and sleepless nights
There is just no making sense of it
It was doomed right from the start
As much as we belong together
We are meant to be apart

Board your plane, leave this man, out in the cold
Who have I got to blame?
Understand, you’re the one I wanna grow old with
But here we find ourselves again

Praying for the day we’ll weather the tide
Hand in hand, side by side
There’s no point in making plans for it
When we feel it in our hearts
As much as we belong together
We are meant to be apart

In time, we’ll both find our hope was misplaced
So much faith, gone to waste
For we’ve refused to see the very thing
That’s been clear right from the start
As much as we belong together
We are really meant to be

As much as we belong together
We are really meant to be
As much as we belong together
We are really meant to be apart
