You Were Meant For Me

Always thought this story was about going through a breakup or rather the after effect.. but you still feel that the person is meant for you. Still you keep hoping they will come back into your life. A sweet and beautiful song :-)

My husband died while I watched him take his last breathes.... This song is about him and I..... I had this song play at his funeral services. I will love him forever.

Every time we fall in love we give away a piece of our heart's real estate. If it doesn't work out, the we take back residence...but that part of our heart is no longer in the same condition. It's got them all over it. Whether we love them still or hate them now, that little bit of our heart has the one we loved all over it and through it. It's sad and this song is about that complicated, messy and desperately empty time we have to spend cleaning house after they leave, making our hearts our own again so that one day we can let someone else stay there. We learn to stand on our own again and keep our own company. The beauty of this song is that it carries the hope of reunion, people are so full of silly imperfections that can too easily cause a breakup. But what do keys in the door, spots on the mirror and wet towels matter when someone is meant for you and you're meant for them? When you've no hope of being reunited, then being able to do these things again without it turning into an argument is the sole consolation of a breakup, but she's not going back to them because she truly believes that in time she'll be going back to him. It's a great song, it leaves you with no clarity on the story's ending, but so accurately depicts the moment of the story she's trying to convey.

Ahh...this song reminds me so much of when I was seperated from my now ex-husband...I wanted so badly to be with him, and I was alone all the time because he was in a different state. I was also numb because I was frightened about the state of the relationship...rightfully so, as it turned out.

I really couldn't add much to this. It pretty much describes my every day.

The complete and utter emptiness you feel when the one you loved no longer loves you. And you can't seem to grasp why you're not with them. The feeling is so hollow and you don't know what to do with yourself.

my favourite jewel song

i think jewel is basically summing up all the different stages a person goes through after a breakup using the different stages in a persons day. She starts in the morning, the persons doing their daily morning routine (making breakfast)- the persons trying to carry on as normal as if nothings happened but somthings missing. Then she turns to hope - does all the things she never did before (dont leave the keys in the door) in the hope that he'll come bak soon the chorus is basically her trying to convince herself that the person will realise they are wrong n come bak to her the bridge is finally her realising that she has to move on n that shes not alone - everyone has breakups

i love the last chorus in this song cos it sounds like shes crying when shes singing, very emotional song and beautifully written.

Trying to go about normal life, but things aren't the same because the person that she loves isn't in her life. She is still trying to hold on to hope because soon you will see that you were meant for me. She is still dreaming after he is gone. She is doing what it takes to go on with life

I'm actually living out this song in its entirety right now. To me this song means so much and while it is sad, it provides comfort. This is how I see it as..

Waking up realzing that even today, a brand new day.. still means I have to continue live even if its without you. All of those things you nagged on me to do, I'll do them if it means you'll come back.

Someday, you'll see through everything and come back.

I try and continue on with everyday tasks. But they just arent the same without you. I feel so lonely now youre gone.

Calling you would be pointless. Everything that could be said has been. I'm still hurt

I continue to do the small things, but even getting ready for bed reminds me that you arent here. I just need to sleep. I cant think about you not being here anymore.

this song makes me teary eyed
