Fate

I didn’t know who I was some five years ago

My life was heading in a different direction

I was due to move away but something inside told me to stay

My life was paused in a cross-section

I didn’t know what to do, I needed to decide

I was looking for swings when all I had was a slide

But then fate took control and showed me the way

Chorus

Now that I’ve found you, I’m not letting you go

It seemed our paths crossed some years ago

We didn’t know it then but you were my soul mate

I truly believe in you, I truly believe in fate

Our paths are mapped out by some force greater than us

They connect when they’re meant to be connected

We were strangers in the past just a couple of steps behind

Two lost souls that continued to be unconnected

As the old saying goes I couldn’t see the wood for the trees

I kept searching high and low over mountains and seas

Bridge

Finding someone when it’s meant to be filled my empty heart

The timing of our crossed paths was right but it wasn’t at the very start

Chorus

Now that I’ve found you, I’m not letting you go

It seemed our paths crossed some years ago

We didn’t know it then but you are my soul mate

I truly believe in you, I truly believe in fate

Sometimes

Sometimes it’s ok to cry

Sometimes it’s ok to tell a lie

Sometime it’s ok to be hurt

Sometimes it’s ok to play in dirt

Sometimes it’s ok to be unseen

Sometimes it’s ok to be unclean

Sometimes it’s ok to be weak

Sometimes it’s ok to tweak

Sometimes it’s ok to be strong

Sometimes it’s ok to be wrong

Sometimes it’s ok to be lost

Sometimes it’s ok to count the cost

Sometimes it’s ok to ask above

Sometimes it’s ok to show love

Second Best

I put you on a pedestal when I we first met years ago

I told myself that we would be friends forever

I was the one who kept our friendship going

It was always about you, not me, never

Pre Chorus

When you called me up I was always there

When you wanted to meet I simply said “Where?”

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best

I wouldn’t see you while you played the field

Making new friends along the way

It hurt that you never wanted to include me

People asked why did I stay

Pre Chorus

Loyalty means nothing to you and now I’ve moved on

Like the saying ‘You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best

Bridge

And now suddenly I’ve seen the errors of your ways

You’ll miss me when you call me on the rainy days

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best
