Fate Be Kind

(Verse 1)

I’m tracing the map of the palm of my hand

Looking for lines that I don’t understand

We were a spark in a winter so vast

A beautiful fever that wasn't meant to last

I’m folding your sweater, the scent is a ghost

The thing that I love is the thing I fear most.

(Chorus)

Oh, Fate, be kind to the pieces of me

Cast them like driftwood out into the sea

I’m letting go of the"what could have been"

To let a little bit of the morning back in

It’s a quiet surrender, a soft, heavy sigh

Wishing you well under someone else’s sky.

(Verse 2)

The stars are just needles of light in the black

And there’s no secret pathway to lead us both back

I’m learning that loving is mostly a debt

Paid in the silence of honest regret

So I’ll leave the porch light on for a soul I don’t know

And teach my own heartbeat it’s okay to go slow.

(Bridge)

They say that the universe doesn’t make mistakes

But it sure feels like gravity whenever a heart breaks

Still, I’ll trust the wind and I’ll trust the turn

And find some peace in the bridges I burn.

(Chorus)

Oh, Fate, be kind to the pieces of me

Cast them like driftwood out into the sea

I’m letting go of the"what could have been"

To let a little bit of the morning back in

It’s a quiet surrender, a soft, heavy sigh

Wishing you well under someone else’s sky.

(Outro)

Just be kind...

The road is still open...

The shadows are thin...

Let the new world...
