it gets better it s worse than ever

Allie X

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
