Meant to Be
Ber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I cook, you do the dishes
And when I'm workin' late, you record the game so I don't miss it
And we're good at takin' on each other's issues
But we're bleedin' through the Band-Aids and we're cryin' through the tissues

And it's kind of romantic
How overdramatic we are
And it's got us this far

But I think you're the one for someone else
And that shit's hard to say, it's okay
You feel the same, and I can tell
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, not made to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last

And I don't wanna keep you waiting
It's not as simple as a yes or no, it's kinda complicated
But I would leave a five-star review, ten out of ten
Recommend you to a friend if I could

'Cause I think you're the one for someone else
And that shit's hard to say, it's okay
You feel the same, and I can tell
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, not made to last

'Cause we put too much pressure on ourselves
Keepin' up appearances to please everybody else
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, just not meant to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last




We were meant to be, just not made to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last

Overall Meaning

In "Meant To Be," Ber explores the complexities of a romantic relationship that has run its course. The song begins with a verse about the mundane yet important aspects of their relationship - the give and take, the support they offer each other. However, they are also struggling with unresolved issues that have left them feeling wounded and unable to heal completely. Despite all of this, the chorus reveals the core of their difficulties - Ber believes that his partner is not meant for him, that they are better suited for someone else. This realization is painful and difficult to confront, but it is also necessary for both of them to move on.


Ber's lyrics are honest and introspective, and they offer a poignant portrayal of the difficulties of letting go of a relationship that has run its course. The song is empathetic towards his partner, acknowledging that there is no fault in either of them but that it's simply not meant to be. The lyric "perfect is just a lot to ask" speaks to the unattainable ideals people set for themselves and their relationships, which can lead to disappointment and heartbreak. Ber also conveys the pressure people feel to present a perfect image to society, which can lead to ignoring personal problems and neglecting to invest in the relationship.


"Meant To Be" is ultimately a bittersweet song about acceptance and growth. Ber graciously lets go of his partner so that they can both be happy and fulfilled, even though it means the end of their relationship. The song is a reminder that sometimes love isn't enough to make a relationship work.

When I cook, you do the dishes
And when I'm working late, you record the game
So I don't miss it
And we're good at taking on each other's issues
But we're bleeding through the band-aids
And we're crying through the tissues
And it's kind of romantic
How overdramatic we are
And it's got us this far
But I think you're the one for someone else
And that shit's hard to say, it's okay
You feel the same and I can tell
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, not madе to last
We were mеant to be, just not made to last
And I don't wanna keep you waiting
It's not as simple as a yes or no
It's kind of complicated
But I would leave a 5-star review, ten-out-of-ten
Recommend you to a friend, if I could
'Cause I think you're the one for someone else
And that shit's hard to say, it's okay
You feel the same and I can tell
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, not made to last
'Cause we put too much pressure on ourselves
Keeping up appearances
To please everybody else
It's hard to leave us in the past
But perfect's just a lot to ask
We're meant to be, just not meant to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last
We were meant to be, just not made to last
