I just stopped by to pass the time,
and nothing more
I hadn’t braced my heart
Now it’s pieces, bits and parts
What can I say?
I felt betrayed and cheated on
I had promised not
to break, but I forgot
Each morning when I wake up
and I still don’t know,
the moment’s quite mundane,
but it’s the best part of the day
‘Cause before I get out of bed
I’ve realized:
You’ve left me, I’m alone
And that’s how it will stay
But things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Things are the way they are for a purpose
Summer days and Winter days -
we need them all
Hard luck rain to feed,
kissing warmth to grow
So you go on, forget the swans
and have a life
‘Cause whatever I may feel
is what He had planned for me
(Chorus)
