Melodi Grand Prix 2023:
Eline Thorp - "Not Meant to Be"

Not Meant to Be

I wrote you this song
I know, so much for so long
And tryna lay low
Guess I'll never learn
What goes around
Will soon return

But by now
You should've figured out
I'm also hot and cold
So my mind can't let go

I've burned a million photographs
Erased a thousand messages
I've thrown your clothes out of the window
'Cause you didn't want them back
Suppressed a hundred memories
The good ones always get to me
I've blocked your number
'Cause there's one name I just cannot see

Oh, darling, I like to say
You can want who you want
But you can't have me
And your logicality
That I wrote you a song
That's not meant to be

We've had better days
Oh you know
Sparkling like Champagne
While tryna get home
Always by my side
Past the point
Of runnin' wild

But by know
You should know that I want out

I've burned a million photographs
Erased a thousand messages
I've thrown your clothes out of the window
'Cause you didn't want them back
Suppressed a hundred memories
The good ones always get to me
I've blocked your number
'Cause there's one name I just cannot see

Oh, darling, I like to say
You can want who you want
But you can't have me
And your logicality
That I wrote you a song
That's not meant to be

I've burned a million photographs
Erased a thousand messages
I've thrown your clothes out of the window
Suppressed a hundred memories
The good ones always get to me
I've blocked your number
'Cause there's one name I just cannot see

Oh, darling, I like to say
You can want who you want
But you can't have me
And your logicality
That I wrote you a song
That'ѕ not meаnt to be
