Come what may
This September has never felt so far away
We've got a secret
We've gotta keep it
Let them say what they want to say
So tell me who's gonna end this
'Cause forever never ever works out
And baby we've got the promise
And nothing's gonna break us down
Come what may (come what may)
Come what may
I'm afraid
It won't be as easy as it used to be
The world's romantics
Replaced by skeptics
What do they know about this anyway
So tell me who's gonna end this
'Cause forever never ever works out
And baby we've got the promise
And nothing's gonna break us down
Come what may (come what may)
Come what may
If it's not your heart, it's your head
Turning you around on the words you've said
If it's not your heart, it's your head
Turning you around on the words you've said
Don't give up on the light
I need to see it in your eyes
To get me through the darkest nights
Don't give up on the light
I need to see it in your eyes
To get me through the darkest nights
Don't give up on the light
I need to see it in your eyes
To get me through the darkest nights
So tell me who's gonna end this
'Cause forever never ever works out
And baby we've got the promise
And nothing's gonna break us down
Come what may (come what may)
Come what may
Come what may
Come what may
Baby we've got the promise
And nothing's gonna break us down
