(No) Faith In Fate

Lay with me, as the Sun creeps through the trees
Maybe as the day recedes
We can find what we've been missing

I thought it was the beginning
With all of the grinning and sinning
That we were committing only to giving
And living in this newfound bliss
But all at once it was shattered, and none of it mattered
I gathered the pieces and tried to pick out the pattern
To figure out just why you turned from my kiss

If it isn't real enough, then give it up, don't lock it down
If it isn't real enough, then give it up and turn around
I give up, forgive, forget, then begin to reconstruct

I thought it was the beginning
With all of the grinning and sinning
That we were committing only to giving
And living in this newfound bliss
I thought I could make it better by writing a letter
But never decided whether us tethered together
Was ever what we both really wanted from this

If it isn't real enough, then give it up, don't lock it down
(Fake love, you can't fake love)
If it isn't real enough, then give it up and turn around
If it isn't real enough, it's not love lost, it was never found
If it isn't real enough, then why wake up just to wait around?

Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
And this is the world telling me so
Used to have some faith in fate
Now it's something I can't shake
Tell me, is it true, that thing they say?
"Good things come to those who wait"
But, while I'm collecting dust
All the good ones get swept up

Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
(If it isn't real enough, then give it up and turn around)
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
(If it isn't real enough, then give it up and turn around)
Maybe I'm just meant to be alone
