Lyrics

Falling my whole world is falling
Without you in my life so hard to keep from dying

When your eyes met mine everything seemed so fine
Always making love with you
You said that you loved me
Always be with me forever and ever

But on that day when I awoke and I found I was alone
I just knew deep down in my heart no more me and you

You were my destiny
That's how it was supposed to be
That's the way it was really meant to be
I knew I just had to set you free

I could keep following you
Never letting you go
Following you and losing all my pride
Calling on you and never letting you go
Following you
But you'd run

You
You were my destiny
I was planning for eternity
Something came and took you away from me

Baby you
You were my destiny
You were the only man in this world for me
Meant to be
But now you've run away from destiny

"DESTINY" by NAOKI feat. PAULA TERRY is the latest song from the same group behind "BROKEN MY HEART". Unlike "BROKEN MY HEART" which focuses on themes of betrayal and relationships ending, "DESTINY" is more optimistic by pointing out that your destiny to find love may also evolve into your destiny to want to be alone.

I thought her singing was different than usual. Is it because of the tender melody?
