Lyrics:
hold on,
don’t speak the word “surrender”
won’t sink toward defeat
I know when you’re on a bender
that you’re just searching for peace
and how a heavy heart always weighs you down
it’s hard to breathe at night with no one around
so i’ll stay by your side - never let you down
so that you never drown
so can you hold out?


‘cos it is getting better now
hold on
it is getting better now
it is getting better now
hold on
even though you don’t know how
it’s getting better and better and better
so hold on

trust everyone got issues
just creeping underneath
hush secret sleeping demons
no one even sees them
but you can show yours to me
yeah, I know it’d be easy to shut me out
but I hope you can see when you’re crying out
that you can count on me when you’re losing count
and i’m standing closest
when you’re at your lowest

‘cos it is getting better now
hold on
it is getting better now
it is getting better now
hold on
better by the minute now
oh oh oh
it is getting better now
it might take a little while
but it’s getting better and better and better
so hold on
hold on

hold on
when you’re at your lowest
time goes the slowest
then before you notice
you were never even down

hold on
‘cos it is getting better now
hold on
it is getting better now
it is getting better now
hold on
better by the minute now
oh oh oh
it is getting better now
hold on
better than we’ve ever felt
keeps getting better and better and better

every time I look into your eyes I see - hold on
there’s something changing in you - hold on
something changing in me - hold on
it is getting better now - hold on
and we can build it one piece at a time - hold on
won’t happen overnight
but I can see the change. I can see the change
so hold on
it is getting better now
