I Was Never Meant To Be Loved 💔

[Intro: Clean guitar with delay, heavy bass hum, quiet drums, tense slow build] [Verse 1: Low confessional, almost spoken] My mind's a racing maze Locked inside without a key I'm a puzzle box that can't be unlocked The key is lost Buried in the forever sands of time Never in one place Constantly moving like the river's tides If you come too close You'll be buried alive [Pre-Chorus: Bass only then full band swelling] There's beauty and madness Laughter and sadness All woven together like the subtle winds Calm and soothing, but in a minute Can become a raging storm Unpredictable [Chorus: EXPLOSIVE, full distortion, scream-sung anthemic] I was never meant to be loved I was never meant to be held I am chaos that brought the storm I am not like the norm [Post-Chorus: Half-time heavy gang vocal echo] Oh, I am not like the norm [Verse 2: Clean but heavier] Unpredictable like yin and yang You can't have one without the other Trying to embrace both Was never meant to be It's just the way it is Throughout eternity [Bridge 1: Quietest part, whispered vocal, single clean guitar] Maybe some things were meant to be And some things just are Some things you just can't change No matter how hard you try [Bridge Build: Bass and tom hits, vocal getting raw and desperate] I'm learning to live With the storm inside I'm learning to live [Final Chorus: Biggest, double vocals, screamed with harmonies] I was never meant to be loved I was never meant to be held I am chaos that brought the storm I am not like the norm [Breakdown / Bridge 2: Dark, heavy, slow, vulnerable and dangerous] I am like the light that can lead you I am like the dark that'll consume you I'm a balance that's in between You want to hold and love me, but you can't I am more than what you see [Outro: Tired, accepting, raw] I was never meant to be loved But I was meant to be something I was never meant to be held But I'm still here in the storm [Spoken Word Outro: Under the breath, heavy, exhausted, close mic, no drums, guitar feedback only] Some people think I'm broken I'm no one's token I'm not good, I'm not bad I just am.. Some things just are [End: Let feedback die, long silence]
