"It Gets Better" lyrics

The pain is for a reason
That's what they say, but is it true?
They tell me it's a season
But they don't know what I've been through
Until I stop the bleeding
Their words are salt inside my wound
I haven't stopped believing
It's just really hard to see it

Wish I could talk to my future self
What would I say, 'cause I need some help

Don't be afraid
Just get through today
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Is making a way
Take a deep breath
And take the next step
Oh, this is not how it ends
This isn't forever
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better

It's hard to see the sunrise
In the middle of the midnight hour
You gotta wait sometimes
Till the world spins back around
I promise you it's shining
Oh, you can't see it now
Keep watching the horizon
Just open up your eyes and

Don't be afraid
Just get through today
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Is making a way
Take a deep breath
And take the next step
Oh, this is not how it ends
This isn't forever
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better

It's only a matter of time
Till Heaven splits open the sky
It gets better, gets better, gets better
The dark will burn up in the light
The very last tear will be cried
It gets better, gets better, gets better

Don't be afraid
'Cause God's not afraid
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Is making a way
Take a deep breath
He's not finished yet
Oh, this is not how it ends
This isn't forever
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
Hold on, it gets better, better, better, better
