[Verse 1]
Here’s to the walls of the land that we’ve loved and we’ve lost
Here’s to the towers we built but the enemy destroyed
We raised our fists to fight for what we thought was right
Crossed one off our lists and marched towards the victories we write

[Verse 2]
Here’s to the flag that we brandished, a symbol of pride
Here’s to the glasses we cheered as we drank for the night
We raised our hopes, the future was bright for us to see
It was a downward slope, we didn’t know we’d end up in here
It was never meant to be

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Here’s to the wars that we fought, that we’ve won and we’ve lost
Here’s to the tears that we’ve shed for what we valued the most
We made a noise and screamed ’til our very last breath
They’ve stolen our voice and took away our right to be free
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be

[Verse 4]
Here’s to the trust that we formed and we broke and the friendships we’ve made that came all along
(It was never meant to be)
Here’s to the van on the lake and the snow and the lanterns we saw all night long
(It was never meant to be)
Here’s to the land full of memories blown and the greatness of it that was known
(It was never meant to be)
Here's to the peace now that everything’s gone; Its existence had always been wrong
(It was never meant to be)
[Outro]
It was never meant to be
