lyrics

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?

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."
