Place a bet on the world to end

Sit and wait for your heart to mend

Independent of when you think that either one will be

What if neither will come at all

Science fails the final call

And your heart ever broken grows too cold to hold a beat

Free falling, all is never what it seems

You're pre-warned to stall whatever you call dreams

And see sense in something mundane

Pray to God you don't pray in vain 'cos

You, you're your only contender

And that makes, you, your only avenger

I can defend your claims to a certain measure

But I can't be blamed for the change of weather

If it gets brighter, then you'll see a sight of what you think it might've been

But whatever you do

Never surrender

Place a bet on a certainty, only to wait an eternity

To realise that your life has been designed for you to lose

That's an easy escape to take, admit defeat at the hands of fate

And not attempt to retain your right to change the life you choose

Too soon to say which way the waters will flow

You could be riding the waves or drifting further below

I guess you'll never know until you try

Keep believing it'll be alright 'cos

You, you're your only contender

And that makes, you, your only avenger

I can defend your claims to a certain measure

But I can't be blamed for the change of weather

If it gets brighter, then you'll see a sight of what you think it might've been

But whatever you do

Never surrender

I can defend your claims to a certain measure

But I can't be blamed for the change of weather

If it gets brighter, then you'll see a sight of what you think it might've been

But whatever you do

Never surrender

Whatever you do

Never surrender

Whatever you do

Never surrender
