Fate
H.E.R. Lyrics

I'm lost, is it really even my fault?
I am feeling lost; I wonder if the things happening to me are my own responsibility.

I don't think that it's supposed to be hard
I believe that things meant to be will come easily without struggles.

If it's really meant to be
If something is destined to happen or meant to be, then it will happen naturally.

So give me a sign
I need a sign from the universe, indicating what is meant to be or what my destiny is.

Is he always gonna be mine?
I am curious to know whether the person I am with will remain mine always.

Have I given it enough of my time?
I wonder if I have given enough time to the person or thing I am involved with.

You cannot blame if it don't mean nothing
When something is insignificant, there is no point in blaming anyone for it.

Sweet, sweet fate
Destiny or fate can be sweet.

I had about all that can take
I have had enough of the situation, and there is not much more I can handle.

You're my living in the breath that I make
My destiny or fate is so much part of me, that it feels like every breath I take is influenced by it.

Is it yours? I wonder
I question whether my fate belongs to me or someone else controls it.

Oh if it's really out of my hands
If fate is not in my hands, then it might not be my fault when things don't go well.

Can you forgive all of my sins?
I ask for forgiveness for any wrongdoings I might have unknowingly done.

Have mercy on me, me
I plead for mercy and understanding for myself.

Why me?
I question why certain things happen to me and not others.

If you walked a mile using my feet
If someone else were in my shoes or had experienced what I did, they might be more understanding.

You would go a little easy on me
Someone else might be more patient and understanding if they knew what I was going through.

You know where I'm coming from, yeah
You can understand my perspective or where I am coming from.

How come, when I'm lookin' at everyone
I am puzzled, wondering why other people seem to have it easy while I struggle.

They get away with havin' little fun?
Others seem to enjoy their lives without any significant challenges or struggles.

I'm paying these dues when they don't mean nothing
I feel like I am struggling through life even though what I am doing might not count for anything significant.
