Sting & Police - This Was Never Meant To Be lyrics

rate me

written by Sting & Anne Dudley

This was never meant to be

All the signs were there to see

From the first moment that we met I knew

This was never meant to be

This was always doomed to fail

From the moment we set sail

All our instincts told us we were wrong

This was never meant to be

But soon we were enraptured in love's dance

When the dance ended I found

I couldn't live without you

And now one of my dreams is sad embers

Here in the cold of December

And now you're in the arms of someone else

I always knew that

This was always second best

Our love would fall at the first test

Common sense would tell us we were wrong

This was never meant to be

This was never meant to last

We drank our cup of love too fast

From the first moment that we met I knew

Now Miss, from our first kiss

I tell you this was never meant to be
