What happens when it's over

When we've breathed our last breath

And we've loved each other to death

When the memories fade away

Flowers in your hair now on our grave

A little bit of pressure's all it takes

Shoulda known we'd shatter that we'd break, break

But I wake up to the truth

Tell me it won't happen

So before it's really over

Can we have a little faith

Baby say it ain't too late

It's all that I'm asking
