[Verse 1]
Today's been hard
I cried to my mum about you
Laid in her arms
Told her this might be the hardest thing that I've been through
How I really miss you
'Cause she knows heartbreak way more than I do
So, that's when I asked, "Will these feelings last?"
[Pre-Chorus]
She took my hand and said
[Chorus]
"You're not gonna be sad forever
This too shall pass like the weather
You don't have to have it all together
Feel it now and trust it gets better
You're not gonna be sad forever
This too shall pass like the weather
You don't have to have it all together
Feel it now and trust it gets better."
[Verse 2]
So many tears, like waves, they come and go
And I can't predict how long I'll be in this ocean
Every time I dry my eyes
I think of something that takes me right
[Pre-Chorus]
Back to when you left
But like my mother said
[Chorus]
"You're not gonna be sad forever
This too shall pass like the weather
You don't have to have it all together
Feel it now and trust it gets better
You're not gonna be sad forever
This too shall pass like the weather
You don't have to have it all together
Feel it now and trust it gets better."
[Bridge]
And trust it gets better
And trust it gets better
And trust it gets better
And trust it gets better
And trust it gets better
And trust it gets better
(You're not gonna be sad forever)
(You're not gonna be sad forever)
[Chorus]
You're not gonna be sad forever
This too shall pass like the weather
You don't have to have it all together
Feel it now and trust it gets better
[Outro]

This was written a few weeks after my grandad passed away and everything was in turmoil. I was crying every day and in a hard place. I went into my mum’s room and she hugged me and was there for me and calmed me down. She told me about her first heartbreak. I wanted to explore that in a song: I was...
