You Were Meant for Me Lyrics
I hear the clock, it's 6am
I feel so far away from where I've been
Got my eggs, and my pancakes too
Got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause
CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
Saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad
CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
BRIDGE: Go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day
Brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick up a book, Turn the sheets down
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight
CHROUS: Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Meaning of You Were Meant for Me
The song “You Were Meant for Me” captures a profound sense of loss and lingering love following a painful breakup. Jewel portrays the raw, disjointed reality of moving on after a deep connection, detailing small, everyday routines – making breakfast, wiping mirrors – that are now imbued with sorrow because they lack the presence of her beloved. The lyrics reveal a cycle of sadness and futile attempts to distract herself from the ache; she seeks comfort in familiar gestures yet finds only emptiness. The repeated chorus, “Dreams last so long, even after you’re gone,” underscores the enduring power of memories and the persistent belief that their love was meant to be. Despite trying to appear strong – "Go about my business, I'm doing fine" – she ultimately feels “half alive but mostly dead,” highlighting the devastating impact of heartbreak and a yearning for reunion.
