Never Really Meant To Be

If I could show what I was talking about
And if you could know what I just can't live without
And if you could see all that I want you to see
And if I could be all that you want me to be

If I could go on with the twist and shout
And if I could show never a shadow of doubt
Then I could try wearing my shoes to the throne
And I could lie all of the way back home

But if I should hide, trying to play right along
And you decide there was a hole in my song
Well you know that was no good for you and me
You know it was never really meant to be

And if I run, where would I end up
Now that I've begun wondering why
And how could I ever look into your eyes my Friend
Knowing that I'll never fit in again

And if I could show all that we need to be free
Oh, but you know all that we wanted to be
But if I need somebody answering for me
You know it was never really meant to be
