"everything is meant to be" lyrics

I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe
That everything is meant to be

Everything is meant to be?
Easy to say when you've only had pain that bleeds
Everything is meant to be?
Said by the predator to the prey they eat

And yes, I survived, but, God, at what cost?
And maybe I'm tired of always being strong
People have memories, I've got years lost
To get out is to always have fingers crossed

Everything is meant to be
Is that supposed to comfort me?
Everything is meant to be
What a cruel thing to say to me
Everything is meant to be
Everything is meant to be
Can you hear it mocking people like me?

You say they'll get what's coming to them?
You can't erase scars, even with a happy end
The universe makes no mistakes but no one deserves to have
Lived my fate
They say karma comes around
Was I just nowhere to be found?

Everything is meant to be
Is that supposed to comfort me?
Everything is meant to be
What a cruel thing to say to me
Everything is meant to be
Everything is meant to be

I want to believe
That there's some force out protecting me
I want to believe
I'm finally destined for some peace
Give me a reason to believe
A sign that the pain has meaning for me
A sign that the pain has meaning for me

Everything is meant to be
Begging for it to comfort me
Everything is meant to be
Want to hear it at night and fall asleep
Everything is meant to be
Everything is meant to be
