Just Not Meant To Be

You said you didn’t want me
And I said I didn’t care
But my caring is what pushed me
To do what I’d never normally dare
Both sorry yet relieved, you tell me more of you
I know it’s not meant to be, for you never had a clue.
 
But sometimes I wonder, if the timing was just not right
And that when it is, perhaps you’d see the light
Only for it to be too late,
How I pray I wasn’t rushing fate...
Now to what you do, I’ll turn a blind eye
I am tired of my heart tricking my mind…
 
No.

The real man of steel is just a bit slow on the wheel
He's driving this way, I'll meet him, someday
He’ll come to me when I least suspect
His love will grow from deep friendship and respect
He’ll know I’m her, before I can know
That something about me makes his eyes glow.
 
I’ll be on his mind, and he’ll let me know that
No heartaches, no pain, his feelings will be out flat
Then! I’ll laugh and wonder what I saw in you
And realize we were never right, like water and glue
 
I wish you no harm,
I regret causing you alarm
I pray you find what you’re looking for
As for me, my heart has been mended by my Lord.
