Nate Ruess - It Only Gets Much Worse lyrics

rate me

I was born before the storm

My mother placed a dozen thorns, the sorry and the taken backs

Lay silent in her folded hands and

Head to headstone, I just danced

Oblivious to consequences

The mornin’ sank into the ground

The highest branch, I sought it out

I didn’t mean to let it go

I didn’t mean to bruise but I lost control

And what she said to me I still let go

All your love may fade away

All you'll become, may all got to waste

So I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts

When it only gets much worse

It’s only gets much worse

Oh you caught me, come to life

The moment when your eyes met mine

From your bed, the sun came in

And to this day it never said but

Here’s to this, I’m used to it

I stepped out for some cigarettes

The neon lights they called me in

For eyes like yours, but different and oh

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 got to waste

So I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts

When it only gets much worse

It’s only gets much worse

I couldn’t quite believe the way it use to pull me down

And take its toll

I survived the loss of gravity, these jaws of gravity

I would not let them sink their teeth into my soul

All my love may fade away

All I become, may all got to waste

So I can’t stand hearin' say it hurts

When it only gets much worse

It’s only gets much worse

All our love may fade away

And we'll become, may all go to waste

So I can't stacnd to hear you say it hurts

When It only gets much worse

It only gets much worse
