SHAÉ UNIVERSE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro]
If love does set you free
Then we weren't meant to be
I trust the energies.
Yeah

[1st Verse]
Skrr skrr skrr on a bum boy,

Know I keep it real ain't no decoy, I
Think it's time I made a confession
I was blind in love, learned my lesson (ahhh)
This ain't a game, I ain't the same
Person you knew, levels have changed
Bussin' your brain
Now you just plain salty (salty)
That I got the game saucy (saucy)

[Pre Chorus]
Back then I was feeble, but look at me now
I bring the fire, I got the bounce
Crazy how I thought I needed you around
You had me going down, down babe

[Chorus]
If love does set you free
Then we weren't meant to be
I trust the energies
Telling me (baby)
If love does set you free,
Then we weren't meant to be,
I trust the energies
I guess we weren't meant to be

[Verse 2]
It's such a shame
We could've been, yang and the yin
One and the same
But it's okay, I couldn't stay
It's not a waste
I know you know that it was for the best the decision was made
(Ooooh)
I can't lie I feel so free
No more badmind energy
Love will always follow me
We weren't meant to be
Beeee (be)
Beeee (be)
Ohhhhhh yeahhhh
Yeahhh (get it)

[Pre Chorus]
Back then I was feeble, but look at me now
I bring the fire, I got the bounce
Crazy how I thought I needed you around
You had me going down, down babe

[Chorus]
If love does set you free
Then we weren't meant to be
I trust the energies
Telling me (baby)
If love does set you free,
Then we weren't meant to be,
I trust the energies
I guess we weren't meant to be babe

We weren't meant to be, yeah
