Things You Call Fate

I find it hard, hard to let go
And you are entitled to know
You have brought nothing else but bliss
A great deal of frustration
Voluntary occupation
Driving me insane and off the wall

And we were free to choose each other
Now it seems like something other
Have you placed me where I stand?
We turned caring, like a mother
Afraid to lose each other
It got us this far
Now problems are:

I have no bags to pack
No suitcase waiting in the hall
You have no make-up
No stockings in my drawer
Oh, how did we forget?
Could we forget?
It's easy to learn if you never regret

When you live in paranoia
And you know she's got you, oh yeah
You can't leave until you know the truth
So for months you're going nowhere
Until you seize the day and place yourself
Behind the steering wheel

Oh you can't act like you don't want to
The opposite of what you planned to
You can watch the ships when they're abroad
Become a joke when people see you
'Cause it's enough to please you
We got this far
Step out of the car

I have no bags to pack
No suitcase waiting in the hall
You have no make-up
No stockings in my drawer
Oh, how did we forget?
Could we forget?
It's easy to learn if you never regret

We'll never learn in the future
This is it, seemingly I am sure
I know we haven't been together now
It wasn't meant to be this way
So we'll give it days and days
And we'll try to make it easy now

Once I believed we could approach this
Now I have faith placed in the things you call fate
In the things you call fate
In the things you call fate
