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
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
