V1: Come what may
Though the stars have fallen
Come what may
You lost your innocence and
Come what may
When the skies did part
Come what may
I knew your affections had turned
Chorus: Though the heavens burst at the sight of my dismay
Though the world seemed like it ended on that day
Though I cried and I cried and I cried when we parted ways
There’s nothing left to say, but…Come what may
V2: Come what may
The skies are starting to clear now
Come what may
It still hurts that it all meant nothing
Come what may
But I’m beginning to see a new way
Come what may
With or without you, I’ll be okay
Bridge: Come what may
(Overlay: Remember you promised me
A part of me died, A part of me freed
Remember you promised me
And I wanted you, thought we needed to be
You tore the petals off of me
Showed the world how weak I could be
Is this what you call true love misery?
You tore the petals off of me
I was the angel on top of your tree
Won’t let you take the best of me
I won’t let you take the best of me)
