Had To Be

Had to be
No escape, no room for doubt
No way out
Seeing you, it was easy to decide
Cut and dried
Had to be
Now we know why we exist
Don't resist, don't even think at all
Simply fall in love
This is what
Had to be

She was easy to seduce
let her loose
In a world where the fake and shallow shine
She'll be fine
Had to be
She's a woman, nothing more
Falling for whatever comes along
She's so wrong
A fool to herself
Had to be

Don't ever tell me
How to live my life, who to love, what to do
And don't try to hold on
You are in my past I am no longer tied to you

Had to be (no-one can tell me)
For we get what we deserve (how I should live my life)
Lose your never (no-one can tell me)
And the fates hustle in and take control (or take control)
Of your soul
Had to be
But the spark of hope remains
And sustains the echo of a smile
(sustains the echo of a smile)
For a while (no-one can tell me)
We're fools to ourselves -have to be
(no-one has told me)
We're fools (it had to be)
To ourselves
Had to be
You are the reason
I am in this world
I will be all you need
You won't come to grief now
You're my every thought, every word, and my every deed

Had to be (you are the reason)
For we get what we deserve (who I am in this world)
Lose your nerve (You are the reason)
And the fates hustle in and take control (I'll take control)
Of your soul

Had to be
But the spark of hope remains
And sustains the echo of a smile
For a while (you are the reason)
We're fools
To ourselves - have to be (you are the reason)
We're fools (it had to be)
To ourselves
Had to be
