David Wax Museum Harder Before It Gets Easier Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been sobbing so hard you can barely breath
You've been sobbing so hard you can barely breath
You've been stitching your heart on the outside of your sleeve
You've been stitching your heart on the outside of your sleeve

You've been wrung out and then doused with grief
In the ocean of time this moment will be brief
Will be brief

[Chorus]
Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier
Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier
Knock, knock, fate was at the door
Knock, knock, too loud to ignore
Knock, knock, we were unprepared
Knock, knock, fate it does not care

[Verse 2]
The muddled position of our hearts will shift
Position of our hearts will shift
And someday this burden of loving will lift
This burden of loving will lift

And the difference between wrong and right
Will close like a fist
But for now judgments passed on us will be swift
Just like this

[Chorus] Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier
Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier
Knock, knock, fate was at the door
Knock, knock, too loud to ignore
Knock, knock, we were unprepared
Knock, knock, fate it does not care

[Verse 3]
A baby is born in a mud hut
A baby is born in a mud hut
With a worm fastened to his gut
With a worm fastened to his gut

Yes, most doors open briefly and then they are shut
The circle of life is a wheel that gets stuck in a rut

[Chorus]
Oh I know it's gonna get harder before it gets easier
Oh I know it's gonna get harder before it gets easier
Knock, knock, fate was at the door
Knock, knock, too loud to ignore
Knock, knock, we were unprepared
Knock, knock, fate it does not care

[Outro]
Knock, knock, fate was at the door
Knock, knock, too loud to ignore
Knock, knock, we were unprepared
Knock, knock, fate it does not care
Care, care
