Sara Gazarek - You Got By

You sit around wishing for forever and a day,
But only made it halfway through.
Wishing is for children and the games they play,
Who never thought it through.

Whatever happened to the stars that were in his eyes,
The way they lit my soul before?
You can return those stars back to the skies,
The world needs them more.

I bet you never thought
It could be that bad,
That nothing else could bring you back,
And when your heart was cold and black
You got by, and you survived.

They say it gets easier at the end of everyday,
So why do I wake up with tears?
You can turn a phrase 10 million ways,
And still it won't be clear
Love is gravity with a pull that you can't deny,
Thats why you're always falling.
But when you hit the ground you can't stay down,
Your life is calling.

I bet you never thought
It could be that bad,
That nothing else could bring you back,
And when your heart was cold and black,
You got by, and you survived.

And when the dust is gone
From the atomic bomb, you can smile.
And when the air is clear,
You'll know the end is near,
Almost whole again.

I bet you never thought
It could be that bad,
That nothing else could bring you back,
And when your heart was cold and black,

I bet you never thought
It could be that bad,
That nothing else could bring you back,
And when your heart was cold and black,
You got by, and you survived.

They say it gets easier at the end of everyday.
