You Were Meant for Me

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (741)

I hear the clock, it's 6am  I feel so far away from where I've been  Got my eggs, and my pancakes too  Got my maple syrup, everything but you  I break the yolks and make a smiley face  I kinda like it in my brand new place  I wipe the spots off of the mirror  Don't leave the keys in the door  Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause Dreams last so long  Even after you're gone  I know, that you love me  And soon you will see  You were meant for me  And I was meant for you Called my momma, she was out for a walk  Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk  Picked up a paper, it was more bad news  More hearts being broken or people being used  Put on my coat in the pouring rain  Saw a movie it just wasn't the same  'Cause it was happy and I was sad  It made me miss you oh so bad Dreams last so long  Even after you're gone  I know, that you love me  And soon you will see  You were meant for me  And I was meant for you Go about my business, I'm doing fine  Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line  Same old story, not much to say  Hearts are broken every day Brush my teeth and put the cap back on  I know you hate it when I leave the light on  I pick up a book, Turn the sheets down  Take a deep breath and a good look around Put on my pj's and hop into bed  I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead  I try and tell myself it'll be all right  I just shouldn't think anymore tonight Dreams last so long  Even after you're gone  I know, that you love me  And soon you will see  You were meant for me  And I was meant for you  Yeah, you were meant for me  And I was meant for you
