Yeah I know... The lyrics are quite similiar too "I wanted to say I love you" and "If only I had loved you as many as the times I said I loved you". But to me it sounds kinda weird [come to think of, should I start a new topic since this is kind of off-topic? XD; Well anyway] that if she has said to this someone "I love you" (without meaning it though) and then she wishes she could have said "I love you"? Either the lyrics are about different persons, or in TW she means she wanted to truthfully say I love you and thank you. Who knows?
Yes, I can't really think any other place for fated than where it's positioned on GUILTY now or some other song to replace it either. It's an important part of GUILTY as an album, but I don't know whats with it. Whenever I listen to it I get a rather bothersome feeling. Maybe I was going trough such feelings in summer when I listened to it more, which are now left behind, so I personally don't anymore like that much of it's athmosphere when I'm overall happier. Fated is dark in a different way than other songs in GUILTY, because it's more like looking back behind wishing to have done something differently, while others are more reflecting present or future. TW... in that point of view too goes well with Fated. Maybe when I'll listen to GUILTY more I'll get to like Fated again too.
