  • You tell me it gets better, it gets better in time
    You say I'll pull myself together, pull it together
    You'll be fine
    Tell me what the hell do you know
    What do you know
    Tell me how the hell could you know
    How could you know

    'Til it happens to you, you don't know
    How it feels
    How it feels
    'Til it happens to you, you won't know
    It won't be real
    No it won't be real
    Won't know how it feels

    You tell me hold your head up
    Hold your head up and be strong
    'Cause when you fall, you gotta get up
    You gotta get up and move on

    Tell me, how the hell could you talk
    How could you talk?
    'Cause until you walk where I walk
    It's just all talk

    'Til it happens to you, you don't know
    How it feels
    How it feels
    'Til it happens to you, you won't know
    It won't be real (how could you know?)
    No it won't be real (how could you know?)
    Won't know how I feel

    'Til your world burns and crashes
    'Til you're at the end, the end of your rope
    'Til you're standing in my shoes, I don't wanna hear nothing from you
    From you, from you, 'cause you don't know

    'Til it happens to you, you don't know
    How I feel
    How I feel
    How I feel
    'Til it happens to you, you won't know
    It won't be real (how could you know?)
    No it won't be real (how could you know?)
    Won't know how it feels

    'Til it happens to you, happens to you
    Happens to you
    Happens to you, happens to you
    Happens to you (how could you know?)
