Never Meant For Me

I'm not a soloist
I never was
Everything I worked for
Was for a lost cause

You'll never see
Just how desperate one can be
When they see their dreams can't be reality

There's a truth that has been spoken
But constantly denied
There is proof the system is broken
But no one wants to decide
If there's punishment to be given
Or anyone to blame
But my ambition
Has gone to waste

And I know that resistance
Always ends in pain
There's a cost to being different
If you want to play the game
Hate me for daring to complain
But I see
I see through all the ways that

I'm not a soloist
And never will be
But that shouldn't matter
Not to you and not to me
I cannot believe
Just how desperate I could be
For a dream that was never meant for me

Every day, I would feel so strange
In a place I called my home
Should I stay or walk away
From all I've ever known

I miss having someplace to stay
But I insist: I'll be on my way

Just how desperate could I be
For a dream that was never meant for me

Now I see it'll never be
My dream was never meant for me
