Going To Get Worse

*

You, you used to make me feel so alive

You used to make me feel so special

Like you, you were so lucky to have me.

But now, I can feel this fading, somehow,

We’ve let this go…

I know, it’s time for us to part

But it’s breaking my heart

To say goodbye, to you and I…

*

It’s going to get worse, before it gets better

It’s going to get hard before it gets easy

It’s time for me to leave,

Please don’t stop me.

I don’t want to let you go,

But it’s time to move on

And no matter how much it hurts,

No matter how bad it gets,

I know you can handle it,

You’ll be fine without me.

*

I really didn’t want this to burn out

I wanted this to be okay somehow.

Now I know,
This isn’t going to go away,

And I can’t stay.

Please quit begging me,

We both know I have to leave

I can see it in your eyes

It’s killing you to let me go

But we both know we’ve held on
For far too long.

*

And I hate for you to see me cry

As I say goodbye

But I want you to know this hurts me too

I wish somehow, I didn’t have to leave.

*

I don’t want to let you go

I don’t want to be the bad guy

And do this on my own.

But no matter how much it hurts,

No matter how bad it gets,

I know you can handle it,

You’ll be fine without me.

This isn’t easy for me,

It’s going to get worse, before it gets better.
