The sorry you whispered meets you I replied
As we both sat there at the end of the line
It's not like either of us didn't fight
When the bell was ringing
When we went down swinging, you know

I never thought we'd be one more tragedy
You and me, we're supposed to beat the odds
When you stick it out or when you don't give in
Or when you give it everything you've got
When you hold on through thick and through thin
And when that kind of love doesn't win, what does?
What does?

I think the hardest part of it all
Is that you won't be there after we fall
You'll just be a memory that hangs on my wall
Of a good thing gone
Of a right gone wrong, you know

I never thought we'd be one more tragedy
You and me, we're supposed to beat the odds
When you stick it out or when you don't give in
Or when you give it everything you've got
When you hold on through thick and through thin
And when that kind of love doesn't win, what does?
Oh, what does?

I never thought we'd be one more tragedy
You and me, we're supposed to beat the odds
When you stick it out or when you don't give in
Or when you give it everything you've got
When you hold on through thick and through thin
And when that kind of love doesn't win, what does?
Oh, what does?
