  • The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
    In doctor's-office-lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared
    That was the first time we were there
    Holy orange bottles, each night I pray to you
    Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
    And I say to you

    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
    'Cause you have to

    I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
    You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
    I just pretend it isn't real
    I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky
    I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try
    And I'll say to you

    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
    'Cause you have to

    And I hate to make this all about me
    But who am I supposed to talk to?
    What am I supposed to do
    If there's no you?

    This won't go back to normal, if it ever was
    It's been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because
    'Cause I have to

    Ooh-ah, you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon

    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, soon you'll get better
    Ooh-ah, you'll get better soon
    'Cause you have to Writer/s: Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift
