It’s cold outside tonight / Snow on neon signs / Reminds me how you reflect the light / And even when I lie / Your kindness I deny / I just can’t look you in the eye / Does our love still have life enough to die? / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story / In years to come I might think on better times / Remember how you’d reflect the light / And I’ll keep you inside / No-one would dare defile / It can be cruel out there at night / But our love’s still got life enough to die / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story / If I told you how I want you / If I told you I still need your love / Would you hold me like you used to / One more time? / Fated to break your heart / I’m fated to make you sorry that you ever loved me / Fated, and if I told you that I was wrong / It wouldn’t change our story.
