Wasn’t Meant to Be Lyrics by Maxi Priest

CombiNation

1999

Walk away, just walk away

Eight o'clock, the purple clouds
I look outside my heart is heavy with regret
I never thought I could be standing so empty
And now your face I know I never will forget

They say this is love
And you go through things like this sometimes
Try and not to show, oh no
You know I know that it's over but I just can't let it go
And now that I know

It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no

Twilight, sun going down
The atmosphere is of romance is in the air
Reaching out for a piece of a memory
Final moments of our love we could share

But too many things undecided in between us
A life time and a day, oh yeah
Ooh, don't break the silence that surrounds us
'Cause there's nothing more to say and we'll have to pay

It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no

It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no

They say this is love
And you go through things like this sometimes
That's the way it goes oh no
I got so much emotion but I just can't let it go
No, no, no

It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no

It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no
