Meant to Last - Madeline Merlo

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
