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 the morning 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 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 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 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'd take its to-ll I survived the loss of gravity These jaws of gravity I will not let them sink their teeth into my soul Oh, oh All my love may fade away All I'll become, may all go to waste So I can't stand, hear it 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
