Lyrics Meant to Last - Madeline Merlo

Meant to Last

I’ve been looking years for you
Thought you might be too good to be true
So I picked you up and held you to the light
I ran my fingers over and over
For the sign of any flaw
And then I put my money down and bet it all
How could God just put you in my path
If we weren’t meant to last
I picked out the perfect place
Where I could keep you safe
On the top shelf of my fragile beating heart
So I let all my walls come down
Coz I was so sure this time
I would always be yours and you’d be mine
How could God just put you in my path
If you weren’t meant to last
But nothing lasts
Anything and everything can crash
And sometimes it takes an avalanche
And sometimes you just tear
I guess you never know what’s right
No matter how you try
Somethings won’t go the way we plan
I thought you were supposed to be
The one that was made for me
And I’ve gone crazy trying to understand
How God just put you in my path
If we weren’t meant to last
