It Only Gets Much Worse

　　It Only Gets Much Worse - Nate Ruess

　　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 morning sank into the ground

　　The highest branch I sorted out

　　Oh, I didn't mean to let it go

　　I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control

　　And when she said to me it's still a ghost

　　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 to this day it never set

　　But here's to this I'm used to it

　　I stepped out for some cigarettes

　　The neon lights they called me in

　　Her eyes like yours, just different

　　And no, 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 way you used to pull me down

　　It takes its toll

　　I survived

　　The laws of gravity

　　Destroyed some property

　　I would not let them sink their teeth into my soul

　　Whoa-oh

　　All I love may fade away

　　All I become may all go to waste

　　So I can't stand, hear it say it hurts

　　When it only gets much worse

　　All I 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
