Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Fate doesn’t always bring us what we want, it brings us what is meant to be. Sometimes that doesn’t turn out as we expected.

Almost Lover – A Fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swayin’ in the wind
Images

You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same
For me

Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you’d never ever forget these
Images
No

But I never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same
For me

Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So now your gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you’e just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can you just let me be?
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
