Can'T Fight Fate

2 long years and countless tissues
Soaking up blood and tears cause I love you
I’m not sure how long it will last

My head screams that I can’t love you 
My heart insists that I have to
My conscience doesn’t think we’ll pass

All of the walls 
And all of the hate
We can do our best but we can’t fight fate

The fact of the matter is we cannot rest

Love can’t live when our hearts are dead 
We have to make it past the bed 
This is not how we should live our lives
When my eyes close and I’m off to sleep 
My hate for you causes me to see
It’s impossible to stop this crash

I can’t miss the fire that surrounds
Our burning bodies as we go down
But I miss the love that gave me such relief

That hole you call a heart screaming so loud
That I didn’t know what I was talking about
When I said there’s no way we will pass

All of the walls 
And all of the hate
We can do our best but we can’t fight fate
