ELBA - Surrender Lyrics

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
