Nate Ruess - It Only Gets Much Worse 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 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

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

One of our greatest, the writing is always just unbelievable.


Organic, heartfelt, special - NO lazy words or phrases, nothing trite -


.Stuff we've never heard before.
.

Straight into the soul for fucks sake

The "Fun" died out....

miss you

Hi 2020. This song is good. Especially the lyrics. I love it.

Still listening to this song :’)

love this song.. my God..

I'm a sun energy made up of star dust, and I like this song.

The first part if the song talks about his mother's terminal illness and first taking her passing lightly "born before the storm" also a reference to "The great big storm" where he actually takes it lightly before its him hard. " at your headstone, I just danced, oblivious to consequence".

remember

your my cousin

"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

My taste in music is so diverse

It's powerful emotionally I'm in Love with your vocals you have some serious talent

Love your music xxx

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
00:00

He’s been writing for other artists. Pink of course and some others.

Obsessed.

Back, please!

Happy Mother’s Day

this entire album is a masterpiece

Nate is perfect

I love this song sooooooooooo much <3 <3 <3

I love Nate's voice! It's amazingly beautiful! I love Nate's songs! He's a wonderful song writer! Genius! ❤

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



One of the most beautiful lyrics i have ever heard

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
I know this is just a big coincidence , but 2015 was a heavily depressing year for me which I'm still recovering from. And 15 of June is my birthday , I guess if I knew about this artist before he could predict that shit it was going to get really fucking bad xD

I don't even have words for this beautiful song. Overwhelming sadness and enormous beauty.

I went to see if this album was on vinyl and was surprised to see that the cheapest copy was 80 bucks! I’ll have to stick to mp3 for now haha

❤❤❤

I can't be the first one to think how much Nate Reuss has a similar sound to Freddie Mercury. Which hopefully he would consider a compliment. Absolutely amazing sound and feeling. Listening for so long and will continue to.

What is the storm he is always talking about?

Joe Sutherland Emotional and psychological torment.

Joe Sutherland the Great Big Storm... Heh heh

hay quá trời đất, nghe 2 năm rồi vẫn hay

The song is so deep in their meaning

such sweet lyrics

love this song so much Nate Ruess is the best dude eva

i love you!! and i love all your music!! my friends say that you are too romantic to this world, BUT I LOVE IT!!!

this song always makes me think of christmas but like?? it makes me very sad at the same time but I can't stop listening

this song reminds me about my aunt and grandpa. so my aunt is giving my grandpa her kidney

i love the pain there is in this song...

I love how your voice can go from so high to so low. You are truly skilled. This song means so much to me; it actually helps me sleep. For real, I created a playlist and added this song 60 times. I might have a problem.

I think you could have had diffrent lirycs than repetion for Ex. "And i know how much it hurts"

And lyrics BRUH

Omg your vocals are amazing

OMG Nateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2:42 gave me chills!!!!

Im at a loss for words .....the song i so beautifully done, yet so sad

His voice is fucking amazing

Amazingggggggggg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤

I love this!!!!! This is the only band I can listen to consistently

High quality

When you are lost in the dark forest, there is always chance that you fall into darker ravine.

someone send me this music please..
