Destiny
Dave Hollister Lyrics

Mmm, mmm
Expressing a sound of longing and regret.

Can a rose petal live without water drops?
Asking if something as delicate as a rose petal can survive without sustenance, similar to how he questions if he can survive without his loved one.

Can my heart live without you?
Posing the question of whether or not his heart can continue on without the love he once had.

Surely not
Coming to the conclusion that his heart cannot survive without his loved one.

Cause a rainbow is what you gave me everyday
Comparing his relationship with his loved one to the beauty and wonder of a rainbow, something that brightened his life every day.

Now I can't go on
He is unable to continue living his life without his loved one by his side.

I'm devastated
Expressing the feeling of being destroyed or ruined from the loss of his loved one.

Cause you're not here
Acknowledging the fact that the absence of his loved one is the cause of his devastation.

Girl, I know you're not In the mood for apologies
Recognizing that his loved one is not ready to forgive him for his past mistakes.

But it's killin' me to think Of what I've done to you
Feeling extreme guilt and regret for how he treated his loved one in the past.

But I realize that I was wrong
Understanding that he was the one who caused the problems in their relationship and is taking responsibility for his actions.

And I, I don't want to change Destiny (we're destiny) You and me, ooh, can't you see? Destiny (we're destiny, ooh girl)
Declaring that he believes they are destined to be together and he does not want to change that fate.

Now I had to face it The pain you feel from the man Who says he loves you
Having to confront the fact that he caused pain to his loved one despite claiming to love her.

And inside of all my tears, is fear That you'll never forgive me
Expressing that his tears and emotions are caused by the fear that his loved one may never forgive him for his past mistakes.

Ooh, I need a sign that you'll remember That vow that holds us baby
Asking for a sign that his loved one still remembers the commitment and bond they shared in their relationship.

Cause true love is never artificial It's always pure
Declaring that true love is genuine and real, not a shallow or insincere emotion.

Destiny (we're destiny) You and me, ooh, can't you see? Destiny (we're destiny, ooh girl)
Reiterating his belief that they are destined to be together and asking his loved one to see that as well.

Mmm, ah Whoa oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Vocalizations to express his emotions and passion.

Girl I know that I mistreated you I know that I can't live without you
Admitting that he has mistreated his loved one and cannot imagine living without her.

I realize That I was wrong And I, I don't want to change Destiny, yeah (we're destiny) Destiny, yeah Oh, our destiny (we're destiny)
Reassuring his loved one that he recognizes his past mistakes and does not want to change their destiny of being together.

Destiny (we're destiny) Come on back baby, ooh I love you
Asking his loved one to come back to him and expressing his love for her again.
