Alter Destiny

By: R. A. Cvetich

Sitting in my bedroom on a cold winter night

Got all of my old pictures spread across the floor

I came across a photograph of you and I

Man, I don’t smile like that anymore

And there’s a picture of my best friend

The one that your heart now belongs to

And sometimes I wonder what she has that I don’t have

Then I remember – you

CHORUS

And it’s funny how things change

I remember planning to run away

To Vegas to get married

And to think, it’s kind of scary

That one little word: goodbye

Changed the course of our lives

Was I supposed to set you free

Or did I alter destiny?

I’m lying on my bed and the rain is coming down

Reading through piles of old notes and letters

You wrote, “Baby, we’re gonna last forever”

We didn’t know any better

Now I see you slip a note into her hand

And I know exactly what it will say

Then you look into her eyes so tenderly

I remember when you used to look at me that way

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

Was it fate for us to be apart?

Were you destined to still have my heart

Even though I don’t have yours?

And were we never meant to be?

Or did I alter destiny

To the point that you don’t love me anymore?

And I say this change is funny even though

It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever known

Repeat CHORUS
