Meant to Be
idkjack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe just Maybe
We were never meant to be
And baby yeah baby
I'm still missing you
And maybe just maybe
We were never meant to be
And baby yeah baby
I'm still missing you

And baby just maybe
We were never meant to be
And i know that we could be
Everything we ever wanted
If you just gave me
Another chance at us
If you just gave me
Another chance at us

You hate that I lie about my day
I lost the spark to ignite your flame
You only ever wanted what I couldn't say
You only ever did everything I hate
And I still
Want you like it's our first date
Don't mind me for you I'll just wait
Time moves on but I'm still the same
Time moves on but I'm still the same

And maybe I was wrong and you were right
Lately been sleeping in the day and not night
Crazy how you make me feel
Beautiful you're so
And maybe I was wrong and you were right
Lately been sleeping in the day and not night
Crazy how you make me feel
Beautiful you're so unreal

And maybe just maybe
We were never meant to be
And maybe well baby
I'm still missing you

And maybe just maybe
We were never meant to be
And i know that we could be
Everything we ever wanted
If you just gave me
Another chance at us




If you just gave me
Another chance at us

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of idkjack's song "Meant to be" describe the confusion and regret of a failed relationship. The singer is grappling with the possibility that they were never meant to be with their former partner, yet still finds themselves missing them. The repeated phrase "and maybe just maybe" suggests both uncertainty and a lingering hope for possible reconciliation. The second half of the song seems to shift towards a plea for a second chance, with the singer acknowledging their faults and expressing a desire to make things work with their partner. The lyrics convey a sense of melancholy and introspection, as the singer sorts through their feelings and experiences.


The line "You only ever did everything I hate" is particularly striking in its ambiguity- does this refer to actions the partner took that the singer disapproved of, or a sense of dissatisfaction that the singer projected onto their partner? The phrase "beautiful you're so" is also intriguing in its simplicity- it could be interpreted as a compliment to the partner's physical appearance, or an expression of admiration for their personality or character.


Overall, "Meant to be" is a poignant reflection on the complexity and difficulty of romantic relationships, and the lingering emotions that can persist even after a breakup.

Do you believe that if you’re meant to be with someone that fate will bring you together?

@eharris1944

Yea. If we're meant to cross paths again.... then it'll happen. If not, then that's for the best.

@alancalvillo6756
