"Hang In There" lyrics

He said
He could see through to your core
And you thought
His heart was open like yours
That he was just trying to hide it
That he knew you better than you did

Said you were a sweet thing in a tough spot
That you just needed to let your guard down
You weren't a dragon or an icon
Man, I wish that I could take his teeth out

He's gonna get away with it
I know I've been there
You're gonna get the hang of it
Hang on, hang in there, maybe

He said
You always get what you want
And you thought
I think he just proved himself wrong
Wish he'd get what was coming but he won't
Sometimes good things happen to bad people

You're an original
He's a classic
A weapon of mass distraction
When it got bad enough
You fell in the habit of
Mistaking his violence for passion

He's gonna get away with it
I know I've been there
You're gonna get the hang of it
Hang on, hang in there, maybe

Is there a way I can make it all easier to swallow?
If I'd get away with the crime, I'd commit it no problem
Unpack the impact it all had on you
Break down the backlash that he put you through
What happened to you is not who you are
Everyone knows who you are

He's gonna get away with it
I know I've been there
You're gonna get the hang of it
Hang on, hang in there
