Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album the big picture And when we start we say forever We say we care, we need, we feel We read the movement of our eyes But in our hearts we still believe The end will come, before we know The silent rule of love applies We light the fuse and let it burn out We just accept that love must die And so they say, the end will come for us And so the world, slows down to let us off Just hang it up and let it go, accept it if i must But i don't believe, i don't believe that the end will come for us No i won't believe the end will come for us The end will come like sudden rain The end is never what it seems We sink the ship before we sail We just accept what failure means
