It does not get better, it just gets heavier It does not get better, it just gets heavier It does not get better, it just gets heavier The days grew darker, shorter Our own worlds weren't enough to help us Stay above the weight of what the world really was I saw it in your face every day when you returned That no amount of stargazing would undo the hurt I wanted to save you, but I was also stuck If I cannot save you can we still be in love? If it does not get better, will you still stay here? If it does not get better, will you still stay here? If it does not get better, will you still stay here? If it does not get better, will you still stay here? The days grew brighter, longer We left the house again We lost our keys, scraped our knees, and forgot our plans I had a dream you laughed at me when I asked for help But you were there when I awoke and your warmth I felt Still every day nothing changed, I was locked in my head But you stayed here and dried my tears on your sleeve and said If it does not get better, at least we'll be together If it does not get better, at least we'll be together If it does not get better, at least we'll be together If it does not get better, at least we'll be together
