Not Meant to Be
guitar tabs lyrics
As of now This has to be my favorite song off Scars and Souvenirs, which I definitely
Songwriting is decent, but Tyler Connolly's voice is absolutely incredible. The music is
stock, but it's at least worth checking out.
The song is tuned down 1/2 step. I'm listing the chords without the strumming pattern
I don't particularly enjoy listing the same thing over and over and it shouldn't be too
to figure out. The song is fairly straightforward. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
It's never enough to say I'm sorry
It's never enough to say I care
But I'm caught between what you wanted from me
And knowin' if I give that to ya I might just disappear
Nobody wins when everyone's losin'
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, I can't change you're mind
It's like tryin' to turn around on a one way street
I can't give you what you want and it's killin' me
And I, I'm starting to see
Maybe we're not meant to be
It's never enough to say I love you
No it's never enough to say I tried
It's hard to believe that there's no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our life
There's still time to turn this around
Should we be buildin' this up instead of tearin' it down
But I keep thinkin' maybe it's to late
Baby I'm sorry to see
Maybe we're not meant to be...
If you can relate to this song, I hope you continue to keep your chin up and things will
fall into place. Promise! Feel free to email me at [email protected] for any
