lyrics

You know exactly what I'm thinking
That I must have heard my truth in dreams
Cuz things are not the way they're supposed to be
But everything is just how it seems

(A - C - D - C)
So now I sit and write this song
Maybe I'll receive what went wrong
Forever just wasn't that long
So I ask myself, I'm asking God, I'm asking you

Chorus (Open E - C - D - 7th fret E)
Why aren't you with me
The reason l cannot see
What I once believed was meant to be
Has been reduced from us to me

Verse 2 (E - 7th fret)
I know exactly what you're thinking
How could you believe such an absurdity
True love was made for children's fairy tales
And not for grown up reality

(A - C - D - C)
So now I sit and hear your new song
Recounting everything that went wrong
Forever wasn't in the cards
So ask yourself, and ask your God, I'm telling you

Chorus (Open E - C - D - 7th fret E)
Why I am not with you
I'm not saying that you were not true
But once you once believed was meant to be
Was always you and never me

So that's why I'm not with you
I will never say you were not true
But what you once believed was meant to be
It was always you and never me
Never me
Never me
