You Were Meant For Me Lyrics

[00:18.31] I hear the clock, it's 6 AM
[00:22.46] I feel so far from where I've been
[00:26.80] I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too
[00:30.47] I got my maple syrup, everything but you
[00:35.29] I break the yolks and make a smiley face
[00:39.53] I kinda like it in my brand new place
[00:42.77] Wipe the spots off of the mirror
[00:45.00] Don't leave the keys in the door
[00:47.50] I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
[00:52.38] Dreams last so long
[00:56.10] Even after you're gone
[01:00.93] I know that you love me
[01:04.22] And soon you will see
[01:09.03] You were meant for me
[01:11.21] And I was meant for you
[01:18.32] I called my mama, she was out for a walk
[01:22.09] Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
[01:25.72] So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
[01:30.51] More hearts being broken or people being used
[01:35.37] Put on my coat in the pouring rain
[01:39.64] I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
[01:42.85] 'Cause it was happy or I was sad
[01:47.26] And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
[01:52.59] Dreams last so long
[01:56.46] Even after you're gone
[02:01.29] I know that you love me
[02:04.44] And soon you will see
[02:08.75] You were meant for me
[02:11.35] And I was meant for you
[02:17.46] I go about my business, I'm doing fine
[02:21.68] Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line?
[02:26.94] Same old story, not much to say
[02:31.33] Hearts are broken every day
[02:54.16] I brush my teeth, I put the cap back on
[02:58.53] I know you hate it when I leave the light on
[03:02.34] I pick up a book up and then I turn the sheets down
[03:06.02] And then I take a deep breath, a good look around
[03:11.26] Put on my pj's and hop into bed
[03:14.48] I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
[03:18.71] I try and tell myself it'll all be alright
[03:23.81] I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
[03:28.34] Dreams last so long
[03:32.13] Even after you're gone
[03:35.92] And I know that you love me
[03:40.09] And soon you will see
[03:44.36] You were meant for me
[03:47.09] And I was meant for you
[03:52.66] Yeah, you were meant for me
[03:55.56] And I was meant for you
