Meant To Be lyrics

When i was a kid There were movies i'd make in my mind Visions so realistic I'd get all worked up til i'd cry Who would i be and what would i be like Me as the singer with my pretty wife I could sing with a hero I'd lay down my life Just to have their wanted soul so bad I believe what's meant to be Is meant to be And that's just how it goes I've been searching for what i need I believe when i find it i'll know I was 18, my very first month Away from home Then i caught your attention When you heard me sing that first note Now i would be lying if i didn't say That i saw you coming a mile away I fell in love with you that very day Just to have that i wanted so bad I believe what's meant to be Is meant to be And that's just how it goes I've been searching for what i need I believe when i find it i'll know Now i can't say i'm happy With all of the choices i've made I've been chewed up and spit out Seen sorrow i'll take to my grave There were some months when The rent came up short And some of my family's not here anymore
