Nate Ruess - It Only Gets Much Worse lyrics

I was born before the storm My mother placed a dozen thorns The "sorry"s and the "take it back"s Lay silent in her folded hands And head to headstone I just danced Oblivious to consequence As a mourning sank into the ground The highest branch I sought it out, oh I didn't mean to let it go I didn't mean to bruise But I lost control And what she said to me It still echoes All your love May fade away All you'll become May all go to waste So I can't stand To hear you say it hurts When it only gets much worse It only gets much worse Oh you caught me come to life The moment when Your eyes met mine And from your bed, the sun came in And till this day it never set But years of this and used to it I stepped out for some cigarettes The neon lights they called me in Her eyes like yours Just different enough I didn't mean to let you go I didn't mean to bruise But I lost control What didn't mean a thing Destroyed us both Darling All your love May fade away All you'll become May all go to waste So I can't stand To hear you say it hurts When it only gets much worse It only gets much worse I couldn't quite believe The ways to pull me down And take its toll I survived The laws of gravity These jaws of brevity I will not let them sink their teeth Into my soul Whoa-oh All my love May fade away All I'll become May all go to waste So I can't stand Hear and say it hurts When it only gets much worse All our love may fade away All we'll become May all go to waste So I can't stand To hear you say it hurts When it only gets much worse It only gets much worse
