I Never Meant For This - Extra Large Holiday Card & guardin

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to reach the stars I was born to sit on a throne Not collect battle scars Your loyalty is cute But it make you weak Friendship mean nothing 'cause it's power that I seek It was never meant to be Now I'm king of the S.M.P. This was my destiny So it was never meant to be L'Manburg once was beautiful And good and pure But now that it's perverted I have nothing to live for My nation no longer exists This imitation must burn Maybe when their world turns to ash They'll all finally learn It was never meant to be My great unfinished symphony My country will die with me 'Cause it was never meant to be Will tried to set us free But these men won't let go Even if we rebuild This will never again be our home There's nothing left But a ghost The last piece destroyed By the girl who loved it the most It was never meant to be That's why I burned down that damn tree Nothing left but a memory For it was never meant to be

Winter party Freezing basement Smoking in my car while your friends were getting wasted We'd already started before anybody got there Your boyfriend was in Florida, failing college, painting lawn chairs You were crying when I turned on the dome light Felt like you'd been holding out on me for a long time Saw the way you got us here alone, and the mood's right In just a couple hours, we would kiss for the first time La-da-da Now I see you when I'm waking up So I'm constantly reminded of The only girl I've ever loved I was lying to the other ones Cuz we're god-tier even on our worst nights Even got a diamond ring, and like your eyes it shines bright I can tell you anything, and we don't even have fights Even when I kiss you now, it feels just like the first time La-da-da

Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you would talk to me Remember 18, love Talking 'til the sun came up They ain't ever seen a love so strong They ain't even know what hit them, no It was something out a movie Something you would dream about Now your lips stay shut and the sides point down If you would open up, you know I'd hear you out But if you don't, I get it You know that I've been down too Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you would talk to me These days I just sleep alone now Back into my old ways Living in our old house Worthless, drunkenly stepping into the bedroom Photos on the wall; they're crooked like your thoughts You mentioned wanting to frame everything in blue Now I'm searching dimensions because of you Now that I'm thinking about it I see it too Guess the smile you put on wasn't in truth Talk to me Wish you would talk to me again Tell me what you want from me But we're silent laying in bed Eyes closed, and you sink into your thoughts They won't go If there's something going on, I hope you'll talk to me Wish you could talk to me
