[Verse 1]
I've been dodging the question far too long
I see you sitting there
What are you running away from?
How long can you stand on a broken branch
Before it falls?
Leaving won't fix your problems
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out I came undone
You're not the only one
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out we're broken and careless
[Chorus]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)
[Verse 2]
You really shouldn't have left here in the first place
When are you coming back?
I set myself up to break down
A broken heart makes you seem weak
And far from feeling happy
(What are you running away from?)
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out I came undone
You're not the only one
[Chorus]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)
[Bridge]
Forgetful apologies
Over and over
Forgetful apologies
Over and over
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to say I told you so
Turns out we're broken and careless
[Outro Chorus]
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
Don't hold on 'cause I'll hold you back
When there's hope in what I say
You always turn away
You'll get by while I get better
(While I get better)

This is truly about the music and the music only. We focused on having higher energy and more melodic vocals with this track, and we hope everyone enjoys it and can take something away from it.
