The Pain Gets Worse Lyrics

Tell me it's a dream (The pain gets worse)
Tell me you have seen (The pain gets worse)
That we can't regain (It really hurts)
Don't make me shout out (The pain gets worse)

Tell me he were wrong (The pain gets worse)
Tell me you have longed (The pain gets worse)
To be here with me (It really hurts)
Tell me you have seen

The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
It really hurts
The pain gets worse

Tell me once again (The pain gets worse)
That you wanna be friends (The pain gets worse)
That you'll swallow your pride (It really hurts)
That you'll stay by my side

The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
The pain gets worse
It really hurts
The pain gets worse

Tell me it's a dream
Tell me you have seen
That we can't regain
Don't make me shout out

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Am I the only one to know Archive ? The're so amazing, I can't believe know one knows them. Anyways, this is a very good song with a girl singing like an angel ! I think it talks about a unfunctionning relationship, and the more they stay together, the more the get far away from each others, with more pain...

It's about someone that can't accept that it's over in the relationship and is mourning and playing the conversation over in their head. The pain gets worse with every thought.
