Woke up in a sky that’s broken blue Promises whispered, but none are true Counting the cracks on the ceiling above Laughing at pain, pretending it’s love Every step forward, a twist in the plot Every silver lining, a shadow you forgot It gets better, they said, it’s worse than ever Smiles like lightning, fading whenever Hearts keep bleeding, but we dance together It gets better, it’s worse than ever Glass half empty, or maybe it’s full Toxic confetti in a carnival cruel You thought you were strong, but the floor gives way The night sings secrets you can’t betray Every cheer hides a sigh beneath Every heartbeat is a thief It gets better, they said, it’s worse than ever Smiles like lightning, fading whenever Hearts keep bleeding, but we dance together It gets better, it’s worse than ever If hope is a joke, I’ll play along Raise my hands, hum the broken song Maybe the pain is the only friend That never pretends, that never bends It gets better, they lied, it’s worse than ever Flashes of light we’ll chase forever Lost in the echoes of now and never It gets better, it’s worse than ever
