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?

'Cause 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

'Cause 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)
It might take a little while
But it's getting better and better and better
So hold on

Hold on
When you're at your lowest
Time goes the slowest
Then before you notice
You were never even down
Oh-oh-oh

'Cause 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)
There's something changing in you (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 (hold on)
But I can see the change, I can see the change (so hold on)
(It is getting better now)
