LYRICS
I was born before the storm
My mother placed a dozen thorns
The “sorry”s and the "take it back”s
lay silent in her folded hands
And head to headstone I just danced
oblivious to consequence
As a mourning sank into the ground
the highest branch I sought it out oh
I didn’t mean to let it go
I didn’t mean to bruise but I lost control
And what she said to me it still echoes
All your love may fade away
All you’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
Oh you caught me come to life
the moment when your eyes met mine
and from your bed the sun came in
and till this day it never set
But years of this and used to it
I stepped out for some cigarettes
The neon lights they called me in
Her eyes like yours just different enough
I didn’t mean to let you go
I didn’t mean to bruise but I lost control
What didn’t mean a thing destroyed us both
darling
All your love may fade away
All you’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
I couldn’t quite believe
the way it used to pull me down
and take its toll
I survived the laws of gravity
these jaws of brevity
I will not let them sink their teeth into my soul
All my love may fade away
All I’ll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand here and say it hurts
when it only gets much worse
All our love may fade away
All we'll become may all go to waste
so I can’t stand to hear you say it hurts
when it only gets much worse

"It Only Gets Much Worse" was another song written in the shower. I've always been a fan of referencing past song titles in current ones (i.e. Why Am I The One) and I found IOGMW particularly amusing. I first started the demo as a fun song and went into the studio w Andrew to lay down some piano and vocals. He wrote some phenomenal Nilssonesque bridge chords that I wrote the bridge melody to. At the time, I never really wrote any lyrics other than the chorus- I just had a melodic mumbling in place on the demo, and as we started building it in the Grand Ro sessions, I realized that I really wanted someone else's help and opinion in finishing up the words. In the meantime Roger Manning Jr. did a phenomenal job on the strings. The song was completely done but I still hadn't written lyrics. I wanted this one to be particularly good. My friend Sloane Crosley was in LA the same time I was there recording- and we met up for a drink one night. She was leaving the next day, but I begged her to stay an extra night and finish the lyrics with me. I've never written lyrics with anyone other than P!nk on JGMAR, and that was "her" song- so I was a little more willing to take a back seat. I think there was a part of me that felt really challenged by Sloane being a published author that compelled me to really work hard on finishing it with her. We had a wonderful and strenuous time. But in the end they're some of my favorite lyrics I've ever written. Fortunately there was a beautiful song to sing them to once they were done.

Nate Ruess I love your songs! But the one that's more stuck in my mind is We are young, Some nights, Nothing without love, Give me a reason & this one, It only gets much worse!" Your a great singer! I think you did more fabulous on the Give me a reason. Great voice too!

who wants nate ruess and fun to return ?
This actually moved me to tears. Nate just pours his heart and soul into every song and I can always feel it. I love his music so much, and this is one of my favorites.
this song kills me inside but like okay?????????????????????????
A pure born vocalist.....he sings like its the end of life. While i celebrate him, i wonder how come he's not a celebrity like the others we used to. Swaziland down south of South Africa is full of love for you my brother
ridiculously beautiful
Man I miss Nates singles and FUN so much. Honestly he's my favorite singer ever...

I remember when fun broke into the lime light and "we are young" and "some night" were popular songs on the radio but I had no clue who Nate Ruess was. Years later he is my favorite singer and I admire the hell out of him. What an amazing voice and such talent for writing songs, I adore him so much.

Still here. I remember when he went to Manila and that i bought tickets few minutes before the concert. i think it was the best decision i made in my life. Hearing him sing live is a dream come true. Forever a fan!
"oh you caught me come to life the moment when your eyes met mine and from the bed the sun came in and till this day it never set" maaaaaAAN my poor heart
Watching him grow from The Format to Fun. to now is truly amazing. His new songs and old songs have so much connection. He's basically a 2015 Freddie Mercury.

This song is so appropriate for 2020. Let's brace ourselves, the year isn't over yet, and it will get worse still before it starts to get better.
This album deserves so much more attention than it got when it was first released. It's so good.
The first few lines made me teary
Nate- you just touch my heart and soul. oh my gosh this is me becoming so emmoooooooo. It affects me soooo much.
Something about this song the emotions behind that voice draws me in ♡♡
I love this song it has so much emotion
Nathaniel, I miss you so much! All my friends love your songs because of me 😂 any song I play to someone new they ask me for the album
The first part if the song talks about his mother's terminal illness and first taking her passing lightly "born before the storm" also a reference to "The great big storm" where he actually takes it lightly before its him hard. " at your headstone, I just danced, oblivious to consequence".
This is very special, I rarely hear a song where 10 seconds in I already decide I love it, this was one of those songs and I'm glad you put that mumbling to use haha thanks Nate
Nate, Where have you been? Please, we need more music from you.
I never heard of you before last night when I watched you on a late night with Seth Meyers and I instantly fell in love with your voice, you have such beautiful music and and your voice is a powerhouse. All I really have to say is... Wow!!!

His song is so profound powerful😤 that kind of energy that I need the most
One of the best compososions of unique letters with sincere meaning. It's also my favorite voice.
One of our greatest, the writing is always just unbelievable. Organic, heartfelt, special - NO lazy words or phrases, nothing trite - .Stuff we've never heard before. .
I was a little worried at first about the fact that nate was going to go solo for a bit on the rolling stone, BUT I AM SOOOOOOOOO FFFFFRRRRREEEEEAAAKKKKKIIINNNGGG HHHHAAAPPPPYYY!!!!!! It truly makes me ponder why he would go back. ;D
so great, as always.
When you are lost in the dark forest, there is always chance that you fall into darker ravine.
Man, this song is so motivating lol. I like Fun. because it makes me feel better. But this song, killed my feelings lol. But loved it! Nate is one of the greatest singers of our time!

I've been a great fan since last year. I Love your songs Nate
2023 still with nate
Nate's songs and voice heals me, love his songs so much!! his powerful clear voice makes me feel relief
I swear this guy makes the best lyrics. This poem is just beautiful.
I miss Nate :(
I'm sure you are not gonna respond to this, but I was wondering and I'm for sure not the only one but, are you gonna start to make other songs, your songs are just the best I've been obsesse with all your songs the past week and we just need more song and we need to hear from you :) Your songs are the best and I mean it

I was born before the storm My mother placed a dozen thorns The "Sorry"s and the "Take it back"s Lay silent in her folded hands One of the most beautiful lyrics i have ever heard
So beautiful song !!. Thanks for share !!.
I'm a Nate fan from Uganda (Africa), Nate's music is therapy
underrated
What didn't mean a thing distroyed us both..... I felt that😔
I don't even have words for this beautiful song. Overwhelming sadness and enormous beauty.
Obsessed.
All your love may fade away....
Also the other reason why I love your songs so much is the meaning of it and also your official music videos are the best bc of all your energy in it it just goes on and on and it's like if I can feel it so thank you for being you
What a amazing voice.. Ouh My god ❤️
Oh hey, its my 9th grade anthem. Actually, even now it still has quite a bit of relevance in my life, if not more so than it used to
This is the most Queen-like of his songs, it doesn't take a strong imagination to hear Freddie singing these lyrics
Your songs makes me cry for sadness, happiness and longing at the same time. Just beautiful...
Nate i really love all your songs ❤❤❤❤
It's so motivated
Aim and Ignite: "I wanna be the one" Some Nights: "Why am I the one" Because you asked for it! Some Nights: "It gets better" Grand Romantic: "It only gets much worse" Okay, hold up.
