it only gets much worse

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 way it used 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, here 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
