Artist/Band: Sting
Lyrics for Song: This Was Never Meant To Be
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Sting



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, all of my dreams are 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 to 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.


This Was Never Meant To Be

Sting's 'This Was Never Meant To Be' stands as a poignant addition to his extensive discography, reflecting the introspective and romantic themes characteristic of his work. Released within the broader context of his career, the track exemplifies his signature blend of soulful vocals and melodic composition, often exploring the complexities of relationships and personal reflection. While not tied to a specific major studio album in its original release, the song aligns with the emotional depth found in his later catalogues, including works like 'Ten Summoner's Tales' and 'Brand New Day'. The recording captures Sting's ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that resonate with listeners, maintaining his reputation as a versatile artist who seamlessly transitions between rock and pop sensibilities. The song serves as a testament to his ongoing commitment to storytelling through music, inviting audiences to contemplate the impermanence of moments and the nature of unfulfilled intentions.
