I hear the clock, it's six AM I feel so far from where I've been I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too I 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 Wipe the spots up off the mirror Don't leave my keys in the door I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause 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 I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk So I picked up the paper, it was more bad news More hearts being broken or people being used Put on my coat in the pouring rain I saw a movie and it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was happy or I was sad And it made me miss you oh so bad 'cause Dreams last for so long Even after you're gone And I know that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you I 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 I brush my teeth, I put the cap back on I know you hate it when I leave the light on I pick a book up and I turn the sheets down And 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 all be alright I shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause Dreams last so long Even after you're gone And I know that you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for you Yeah, you were meant for me And I was meant for you

A canção foi escrita por Jewel e o guitarrista Steve Poltz, refletindo uma relação fracassada e a dificuldade de seguir em frente.
Lançada como segundo single do álbum de estreia *Pieces of You* (1995), atingiu o segundo lugar na Billboard Hot 100 por duas semanas e o primeiro lugar na Billboard Adult Contemporary por uma semana.
Em 1997, um re‑lançamento do single com a faixa inédita “Foolish Games” elevou a música de volta à posição sete na Hot 100, somando um total de 65 semanas na lista, recorde da época.
A dupla “Foolish Games / You Were Meant for Me” entrou na 15ª posição do “All Time Top 100” da Billboard em 2008 e manteve o lugar 17 no re‑calculo do 55.º aniversário, permanecendo entre os 20 maiores sucessos.
Para o álbum *Greatest Hits*, Jewel regravou a música com a participação vocal do trío country Pistol Annies, reforçando sua popularidade em diferentes gêneros.
